Chief Executive
You may have already heard that I will be leaving Rosemary Simmons at Christmas to become Chief Executive of The Wimbledon Guild – sadly, today is my last day here at the association. I have been at Rosemary Simmons now for almost fourteen years and the organisation has changed out of all recognition during that time. We have built excellent staff and management teams and have brought all of our homes up to high standards. We have also managed to remain financially solvent through these difficult economic times and still have plans to build high quality new homes, despite all of the pressures on us.
On a personal note I have very much valued the support that I have received from staff, residents and Board Members in my role, both in the good times (two lots of maternity leave!) and the not so good (period of ill health a year or so ago, all now happily behind me). I am sure that I would not have stayed so long had I not been surrounded by such a talented and inspiring group of people.
A new Chief Executive has been appointed by our Board and they will start in the New Year. I know they'll be very keen to introduce themselves to you without delay and to continue our work with residents.
So I wish everyone all the very best for the future and I look forward to hearing reports of Rosemary Simmons is continuing to go from strength to strength.
