Grahame, who previously held the position of tenant services manager, will replace John Cameron who retired at the end of 2018.

John’s hard work and considerable achievements over the past 10 years included co-ordinating Forth’s new business & enterprise hub, obtaining funding for the digital inclusion project and maintaining very high standards of service, whilst doubling the housing stock size.

A spokesperson at Forth said: “As Grahame has worked for Forth since 2000 he will not be required to learn about the local or organisational context. Forth is looking forward to continuing to thrive under his leadership and that of its management committee.”
