Cassiltoun Housing Association has announced that Charlie Millar, chief executive of the Cassiltoun Group, plans to retire in March 2019 after 39 years in the housing sector - 15 of them as the CEO at Cassiltoun.

Anna Stuart MBE, chair of Cassiltoun Housing Association, said: “The Board and I will be very sad to see Charlie leave us. He has been an outstanding leader, who has helped to create one of Scotland’s most diverse housing associations whilst making a huge impact on the social and economic regeneration in Castlemilk. We give Charlie our best wishes for a well-deserved early retirement.”

Charlie said: “I have been truly lucky to work in the housing sector in Glasgow over the past 39 years. The changes to how we deliver housing services in the city have been transformational and the community based housing association movement deserves great credit for their vision and tenacity.

“I have been privileged to work with tenants from different communities delivering improvements over many years. I owe a debt of gratitude to the many fantastic colleagues and Board members I have worked with who have helped and supported me during my career. I will be sad to leave but I am now looking forward to a more relaxed future travelling with my wife Margaret.”
