We are delighted to reveal our new Chief Property Officer is Billy Sutch.
Billy will take over from Peter Evans, our Interim CPO, at the end of May.
Ruth Cooke, our Chief Executive, said: “Billy brings with him fantastic experience and he most recently served as Executive Director of Residential Services at UPP, a leading university accommodation provider, where he led a team of 800 colleagues across operations, property management, commercial, technical compliance, health and safety, and fire and building safety. I look forward to welcoming him to our Leadership Group.”
Billy said: “I am thrilled to be joining GSA as we progress through the Simpler, Stronger, Better strategy. The plan to strengthen the business, improve the customer offer, improve our homes and services, and create a culture where teams are empowered has really resonated with me. This plays to my strengths and I believe I can add real value across all elements.
“I have enjoyed creating homes for residents over my time at UPP and am looking forward to working with GSA on fulfilling their purpose of being a great social landlord, delivering real impacts to communities and people's lives. GSA's residents are with us for much longer than those at UPP, it will be good to form longer lasting relationships and turn out genuine social value for those individuals and communities. I have met some fantastic people to date at GSA and look forward to meeting more of the team in due course. I am already engaged in the asset management system and think this will be the start of exciting times to come in the property space.”
