Nickie Hallard.

Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH), the organisation that manages the Council’s 14,000 homes, has appointed Nickie Hallard, 39, from Earby in Lancashire as its new Director of Resources.

The move completes the company’s management team.

Her new role will involve leading on financial and business planning issues, co-ordinating policy and development and ensuring that all central support services are effectively supporting the service improvement agenda.

Managing Director of RBH Gareth Swarbrick said: “Nickie’s appointment is the final one to the executive management team of the company. As a multi million pound business operating in a constantly changing environment we can now face the future growth and expansion of RBH with an experienced and committed team, as we move the company into new and diverse markets.”

Ms Hallard has worked within Finance across a number of sectors, including Banking, Retail & Local Government, for over 20 years, most recently as Financial Services Controller for the Incommunities Group in Bradford.

She said: “One of the first things that attracted me to RBH is the fact it genuinely has the customer at the heart of everything it does. It is also an exciting time to be joining the team, as RBH look to secure long term investment in the housing stock and begin its first new build developments."
