The Board recruitment panel felt, after an extensive process that Stephanie brought the right blend of skills, experience and passion to lead Golding Homes forward. Importantly for us, she has a clear focus on our customer which will help us to realise our vision of delivering outstanding services, great homes and proud communities.”
Stephanie, who will take over from Sue Chalkley, said: “I’m delighted to be joining Golding Homes at this exciting time. Never has it been more important for housing associations to step up and play their part in combatting the housing crisis, improving quality of lives and delivering the excellent services that all our customers have the right to receive.
I look forward to meeting and working with customers, colleagues and our stakeholders and partners across Kent as we start the next phase of the Golding journey.”
