Grŵp Cynefin ushers in a new era with a new senior leadership team
North Wales housing association Grŵp Cynefin has appointed three new directors to its senior leadership team. This follows the appointment of Mel Evans as its new Chief Executive earlier in the year.
Nerys Price-Jones is the new Director of People, a new role within the company, overseeing human resources, communities’ initiatives, customer services and communications and marketing.
Nerys has more than 25 years’ experience in senior HR roles within industries from construction to pharmaceutical. Originally from Ruthin, and still living in the area, Nerys joins Grŵp Cynefin from Wrexham-based agriculture company Platts.
Nia Owen, former Head of Finance and current acting Director of Resources, has been appointed permanently to the role. Sion Roberts, Grŵp Cynefin’s current Head of Assets, has been promoted to the role of Director of Property and Investment, also a new directorship within the group.
They will all step into their new roles this week.
Sharon Morris will be continuing for a fixed term of 18 months as Director of Housing.
“This is an incredibly positive step for Grŵp Cynefin,” says Mel Evans, Chief Executive of Grŵp Cynefin.
“These appointments reflect the association’s ambition as we embark on a transformation journey. We are currently in the process of creating a corporate plan for the next four years and a new senior leadership team will drive and inspire change.
“Grŵp Cynefin celebrates its 10th year this year and we are looking ahead to the next ten years and further with energy and vision. These appointments are pivotal to our exciting transformation journey, reinforcing our commitment to our tenants, customers, staff, communities and partners.”
Tim Jones, Chair of the Board of Management, Grŵp Cynefin says:
“As Chair, I’m confident that these excellent appointments align with the Board’s vision for Grŵp Cynefin. I wish them all well in their roles and look forward to seeing them making an important contribution to the company’s successful future.”
