On the 9th August 2020 our Chief Executive, Paul Stephenson, will be retiring after 15 years with CBH. Paul has successfully steered CBH through the most volatile time for social housing in generations and led the company to achieve many significant milestones. Paul will be leaving the company in a strong position, with a clear and bright future and a passionate workforce of amazing colleagues, who have demonstrated their commitment and professionalism during the current Covid-19 crisis. As sad as this is for CBH we are very happy for Paul and wish him the very best on his retirement, when it gets here.
Given the increased challenges that everyone is currently facing as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, our Board have approved an interim solution which has the full support of Cheltenham Borough Council. This approach will maintain a fully functioning Executive Team, with huge experience in the housing sector, and who live and breathe CBH. It will also allow for a period of handover to the Interim Deputy CEO, Steve Slater; who has taken on this role from May 1st and who will then take on the full CEO role on an interim basis following Paul’s retirement in August. Steve will be supported by Stafford Cruse who will be stepping into the Executive Director: Finance and Resources role for an interim period. You can find out more about our Executive Team by following this link to the Our Structure page.
This overall approach will ensure a smooth transition through the current crisis to a more ‘normal’ situation, and make sure our Aims and Values for the future will continue to be delivered.
