Catalyst chief executive to retire
The chief executive of a large London housing association is to retire after 26 years leading the organisation.
Rod Cahill has announced that he will be retiring as chief executive of Catalyst, having steered the social landlord through six major estate regeneration projects as well as a merger in 2002.
Mr Cahill, 65, joined the company (then Ealing Family Housing Association) in 1983 as development manager, before becoming chief executive in 1992. He led the association into a merger with Kensington Housing Trust to form Catalyst in 2002.

He said it had been “a privilege” to lead the company, but that it was time to “pass on the baton to someone new”.
He said: “I do so with Catalyst in great shape, with a strong board, a strong leadership team, a tier of excellent directors and above all a great set of people committed to the Catalyst cause.
“This is a time of challenge and opportunity, and I believe that we are well-placed to grow from strength to strength, providing more and more homes for those who need them most, and creating and maintaining good places to live.”
Richard Brown, chair of Catalyst’s board, said: “I would like to personally thank Rod for his many years of great service at Catalyst. He has helped build an organisation in which everyone is committed to making a positive difference to the lives of our customers.
He added: “I am sure I speak for all at Catalyst when I wish him all the very best for his well-deserved retirement.”
