A Board of Management made up of 15 members - five customers, five Local Authority nominees and five independents, who with their professional skills, help to run the business.
The Board's role is to make strategic and major policy decisions, set the budget and monitor company performance.
Board Members all have the same voting rights and have a duty to act in the best interests of the Trust. They are all unpaid volunteers and are expected to serve on the Board for a specified period of time.
A message from Ingrid Fife, Chair of the Board of Management
|
I recently joined Halton Housing Trust having been recruited as an Independent Board Member to the Chair position in July 2009. Prior to joining the Trust my career has been within the healthcare industry working both with the NHS and with commercial suppliers. I took up this position with the Trust to enable me to broaden my experience and to use my commercial knowledge to help the organisation to mature successfully.
Since joining the organisation I have been impressed by the progress achieved within a relatively short timescale. Having met our initial goals ahead of schedule and within the business plan we now have a great opportunity to further develop our services to offer more for our customers. Our current Corporate Plan will see us broaden our efforts, focusing not just on homes but also on investing in neighbourhoods and communities. The Board is keen to see the Trust’s remit broaden and to identify strategies that have been shown to succeed elsewhere that would also benefit our local community.
I get tremendous satisfaction from being a Board Member here. I’m working with a great team who have proven that they can deliver what they say they will, and who have a real desire to make a positive difference for both customers and for the whole community.
Yours faithfully,
Ingrid Fife Chair Board of Management Halton Housing Trust |
