Over recent months, the Board and Executive of Grampian Housing Association have been considering the Association's governance structures as it begins to emerge from what has been a very challenging period of time for the Association and the housing sector at large.

As part of that exercise, the Board and the Association's Chief Executive, Neil Clapperton, have been discussing Neil's future aspirations and his wish to move to a new challenge for the remainder of his working life. It has now been agreed that this juncture in the Association's development is the right time for Neil to move on to that new challenge.

Neil has been with the Association for over 15 years and during this time contributed to the success and achievement of the Association and wider Group. The Board wishes Neil every best wish for the future and thanks him for his commitment to Grampian Housing Association during his time as Chief Executive.
