Osprey Housing Group has strengthened its Board with the appointment of a vastly experienced sector specialist.

Marian Reid, formerly deputy director at CIH Scotland, has joined the organisation.

Ms Reid, who currently runs her own Azure consultancy specialising in social research and evaluation, said: “I’m delighted to be joining the Osprey board and look forward to contributing to the strategic direction of the group. Osprey has an excellent reputation for providing quality homes in innovative developments for its tenants across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray. I grew up in the north east, where I still have family, and know the area well, so welcome the chance to be involved in the work of the group.”

Welcoming Ms Reid to the Board, group chairman Bill Chapman said: “Marian’s appointment is a significant one for Osprey. She brings considerable expertise and experience of the housing sector that will be extremely valuable going forward. I’m sure she will make an important contribution to the organisation.”
