Link Group, the Falkirk-based social housing and regeneration specialists, will soon bid farewell to Brenda Higgins, their well-known director of regeneration and development.

Brenda has decided to stand in June in order to devote more time to her other interests and commitments.

Brenda has been a stalwart on the Scottish housing scene for a long time, having started at Viewpoint as assistant housing manager in 1984 then as director at various associations, culminating in her current position at Link. Brenda has also been a member of several housing association boards, forums and working groups.

Link's Chairman, Robbie Robertson said: "Having driven Link's development, community regeneration, wider role, building for sale and new initiatives such as the LIFT Open Market Shared Equity Pilot since joining us nearly ten years ago, Brenda has contributed significantly to Link's growth and good reputation.

"I'm sure everyone will join me in wishing her good health and good fortune in her future adventures."
