Andrea Finkel-Gates

Kenny Hutton remains as joint vice chair along with Ann Dickson who recently stepped down from chair after having served for 2 terms and has been on the committee for 5 years.  
The association extended its thanks to Ann Dickson  for her dedication over what has been a very challenging period for the organisation and for her strong leadership whilst the organisation worked towards compliance with the Scottish Housing Regulatory Standards. The association said it is also delighted that Ann remains a committee member and offers support to both Andrea in her new role and to our newest members. 

Andrea Finkel-Gates has served on the committee for two years and has been the chair of both the Audit and Risk and Staffing Sub Committees. She has a wealth of sector experience and is currently the Chief Executive of Scotland’s Housing Network. 

Andrea Finkel-Gates said: “It is a privilege to be elected chair at Forth. We have an excellent management committee and staff team, all working together to deliver high quality homes and a top-class service to our tenants.  I am delighted to be given this opportunity and look forward to continuing to build upon our already high performing organisation, to growing our portfolio through our well-planned development plan and improving the lives of our tenants and the communities we serve.  Thank you to Ann Dickson, past chair, for all her support and ongoing commitment to Forth Housing Association.”
