Andy Walder, chair of Freebridge, said: “On behalf of the board, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Tony for everything he has achieved for the organisation over the past 14 years. It has been a pleasure to work with him and he will be greatly missed.
“We look forward to beginning the search for our next chief executive. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to make a real difference in West Norfolk and deliver our strategic goals.”
Mr Hall said: “After 14 years, I feel that I have completed the work I originally set out to do at Freebridge.
“Being chief executive, working with a great team of people, making a difference in our communities, has been the greatest professional joy of my life.
“I will be leaving a great organisation, with a strong board and leadership team and a committed, professional group of employees who are working hard to deliver great services for our customers and communities.”
In September, Mr Hall also retired from the board of 6,000-home Saffron Housing Trust and from his role as director of its subsidiary, Saffron Housing Finance, having been appointed following regulatory issues at the organisation.
