Allan Jones expressed his excitement about the new role, stating, “This is a critical time for the social housing sector, and I look forward to working with the board and senior leadership team to help Caledonia Housing Association meet the needs of its current and future tenants. We are committed to building homes and communities that our tenants can be proud to live in.”
