"Rebecca's leadership, drive and experience are going to be invaluable to Bridge Housing as the organisation continues to lead the way in service excellence and pursues opportunities to grow further in the future," said Mr Turner.
"I'm delighted to be taking on this new challenge and I’m really excited to be leading Bridge Housing through its next phase of growth. I firmly believe that quality affordable housing is fundamental in transforming people’s lives for the better. I look forward to working with the Board, our strong and capable team, our tenants and other stakeholders to deliver an exciting next chapter for the organisation," said Rebecca Pinkstone.
