Pat Ritchie To Be New HCA Chief Executive
Pat Ritchie has been appointed Chief Executive of the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA).
Currently the HCA's Director for the North East, Pat will now lead the Agency through a significant period of change including development of its continuing role as a smaller, enabling and investment organisation.
Pat takes up her new role as of 1 November and will remain in post until a permanent appointment is made next year. She replaces Sir Bob Kerslake who moves to be Permanent Secretary at CLG.
Robert Napier, Chairman of the HCA, said: "I and the HCA board are delighted that Pat Ritchie will be our new chief executive. We were fortunate to be able to recruit from an extremely talented pool of existing directors and in doing so we considered a number of strong applicants."
"In Pat we have the right person to lead the HCA. She has a strong track record of achievement, both in the North East and in leading change at a national level, as well as the respect of staff and the sector as a whole. Pat has the talent and skills to drive the Agency forward."
