Radius Housing has strengthened its senior management team with the appointment of a new Director of Finance & ICT.

Alan Thomson joins the Northern Ireland housing association following successful stints in finance roles at Goldblatt McGuigan and Ballyvesey Holdings.

In his new role, the Scottish qualified accountant will help deliver the ambitious development plans that the housing association has set out for the next few years.

Speaking after the appointment, John McLean, Chief Executive of Radius Housing, said: "We are delighted that Alan has joined our senior management team as Director of Finance & ICT. He brings a wealth of experience from a range of sectors, which will serve him well at Radius as we look to build even more new homes to add to the 12,500 homes we already manage. The progress at the Visteon site, which will bring 244 new homes to Belfast, is testament to our ambition, and we look forward to Alan's experience helping to bring the financial support to complete more social and affordable homes across Northern Ireland."

Alan Thomson added: "I am looking forward to taking on this new challenge at Radius Housing. With a staff of over 1000, and a turnover of around £90m, Radius is leading the way in delivering homes to people across Northern Ireland, as well as providing care and support through services like Radius Connect24. My challenge will be to ensure that the organisation is a strong financial position to keep on building new homes and providing the first class support across the community that they are known for."
