Kirsty Wells

Ms Wells brings her wealth of networking experience and a passion to drive the gender equality agenda throughout Scotland to this new role.

Lucy Malarkey, managing director of WISH, said: “We are thrilled that Kirsty will be taking on the role as Chair for WISH Scotland, this is a really exciting time and with Kirsty as Chair I have every confidence that WISH Scotland will thrive!”

WISH is a membership-based network for women working across every discipline in the housing sector. Already established in 9 other regions, WISH Scotland is the latest addition to the network.

The regional board is made up of volunteers, like Ms Wells, who work together to arrange inspirational and knowledge-sharing networking events, both online and in person for their members.

Ms Wells’ first role is to bring together the Scotland regional board and she is looking for women who would be interested in joining.

To hear more about WISH Scotland and how to join the board, or become a member, join the ‘lunch and learn’ webinar which has been arranged for Thursday 5th May between 12.30 and 1.15pm.

Ms Wells commented: “I am delighted to accept the role of inaugural Chair of WISH Scotland and am actively on the search for a range of board members, who are passionate female housing professionals that want to support WISH Scotland to provide an amazing experience for our members. Please come along to the webinar to hear more about this great opportunity.”
