Housing association Radian has appointed Gary Orr as its new chief executive.
The appointment sees Mr Orr leave Yarlington after serving for seven years as the group’s chief executive. Prior to his time at Yarlington, Mr Orr held the role of chief executive of arm’s-length management organisation Homes in Sedgemoor.
Radian employs 800 staff and manages 21,000 homes across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Surrey, Sussex and Wiltshire.
Mr Orr said: “I am delighted to be taking on the new role at Radian. At Yarlington, we have achieved a tremendous amount on so many different fronts, building a great many new homes, revolutionising our services and creating opportunities for communities to thrive.
“I have often said that Yarlington is a mirror of its people and right now that mirror reflects an organisation that has big aspirations and the high-performing and united team that can deliver them.”
Mr Orr will take over from Mick Sweeney, former chief executive of One Housing, who has been interim chief executive at Radian since July 2017. Mr Orr will take up his post in October.
Caroline Moore will take on the position of interim managing director at Yarlington for the next 12 months as it searches for a successor.
