Golding welcomes new Board Members
Golding Homes has welcomed two new members to its Board following a recent refresh of its structure. Ashling Fox and Owen Ingram were officially appointed at the beginning of August, following months of working alongside Golding’s current Board Members as Co-optee members.
Chair of Golding Homes, Chris Cheeseman says: “I am delighted to welcome Ashling and Owen to our Board, and very much look forward to working with them.
"They both bring a breadth of experience with them which will be vital in helping the organisation strengthen its foundations and lead us in a new direction to become the landlord of choice for mid-Kent and the Maidstone community.”
Working closely with Golding’s Executive Team, the Board’s role is to provide strategic direction and to govern, control, and scrutinise the landlord’s operations. The Board meets regularly to review the performance of the business and provides advice to Golding’s executive team.
“Following the appointments of Ashling and Owen we now have a strong innovative team of experienced board members to govern our organisation,” says Sue Chalkley, Interim CEO.
“Our vision is to become a landlord of choice, providing quality homes and excellent customer service, which can only be reached by the right team of people.
"I am delighted that Ashling and Owen have joined our Board and am confident that their individual and combined experience will help us achieve our vision.”
