Myriam Madden, chairman of Home Scotland, said the addition of Bob McDougall, Annie Mauger-Thompson and Gillian Campbell bring a “wealth of experience” in the sector and “will support Home Group in the delivery of its strategic development and growth across Scotland”.

Bob McDougall’s long career in housing in Scotland includes working in a variety of roles within local government, Livingston Development Corporation and most recently two housing associations as chief executive.

Most recently, he spent ten years as CEO of Trust Housing Association before retiring in April 2015. During his time he made many lasting changes to the organisation, including transforming the culture into one that is inclusive, open and transparent.

Annie Mauger-Thompson is an experienced senior executive in the not for profit sector and now runs her own consultancy company supporting different organisations in the housing and charity sector.
