During an 18-year career in housing, he has worked for local authorities across the UK, from Surrey in southern England to Moray Council in the north of Scotland. Prior to joining GHA he was Director of Customer & Support Services at West Lothian Council.
Announcing the new appointment, GHA Tenant Chair Sandra Forsythe said: “It is no exaggeration to say this position attracted a very high-calibre range of candidates from across the UK. I am delighted to confirm Martin was the unanimous choice of the GHA Board as the person best suited to lead us through this next, very important phase in our history.
“In his previous GHA role, he made his mark by greatly improving the quality and range of services we provide to our customers. I have no doubt he will continue to demonstrate the leadership and commitment to excellence that he displayed as Acting Chief Executive over the past couple of months.”
Mr Armstrong (44) said: “It is an honour to be given the opportunity to serve GHA tenants and factored homeowners as Chief Executive. I am absolutely determined, as are my colleagues throughout this organisation, to create better homes, better communities and, ultimately, better lives for the people we serve.” |
