(b) Leadership Changes
In April 2018, Clare Budden became Group Chief Executive
following the retirement of the former Group Chief Executive,
Graham Worthington.
Clare has brought over 30 years' experience in the housing
sector having previously been with Flintshire County Council, CDS,
Greater Hornby and New Generation.
Following a review of the business she has reorganised the Group
structure (see Section C below) and the Senior Executive Team to
align more closely with key business priorities and therefore
better achieve the Group's aspirations.
This restructuring was completed in March 2019 with the
appointment of Paul McGrady as the newly created Executive Director
of Resources. Paul previously undertook a similar role for another
Housing Association and has responsibility for Finance, IT,
Governance, Performance and Health and Safety co-ordination.
(c) Group Reorganisation
During the year the Board completed the consolidation of the
former three Housing Associations within the Group into a single
Association with charitable aims named ClwydAlyn Housing which came
into effect from 1(st) April 2019. The simplified Group structure
strengthens governance, reduces the level of complexity and proves
greater clarity on the roles of Group Members.
The Group's associated governance arrangements have also been
reviewed and updated to support the simplified structure. This
includes appointing the new Clwyd Alyn Board from April, along with
a new committee structure.
As of 1(st) April 2019 the Group comprised the following legal
entities;
(d) Credit Rating
The Group's Investment Grade rating has been reaffirmed by
Standard & Poor's (S&P) as being "A" with a stable
outlook.
(e) Pension
The Group had a pension deficit of GBP5.5m in 2018, which has
risen to GBP10.2m in 2019. This is attributable to a change in the
valuation and a change to the apportionment of the deficit by the
Social Housing Pension Scheme to Employers. The Group closed the
Defined Benefit pension scheme to all staff on 31 March 2016.
(f) Development
The Group's plan to deliver 1,500 units by March 2022 remains on
track.
In the period between the start of the development strategy in
2017 and March 2019, 412 units have been completed a cost of
GBP59.5m.
During the last financial year ending 31(st) March 2019, this
included:
-- three new Extra Care Schemes for older persons providing 196
new homes (including state of the art dementia-friendly units);
-- 67 new homes for families/single persons for Rent; and
-- 10 new Rent to Own properties.
GBP16m of capital funding was received from Welsh Government
towards new projects during the year.
In addition, over 14 acres of land with planning permission was
acquired for development in future years.
Currently there are a further 176 units on site at a cost of
GBP29.5m. There are a further 847 units in acquisition/design and
pre-contract stage equating to a total cost of around GBP131m.
Cash balances together with undrawn bank facilities are
sufficient to meet all current development expenditure once Welsh
Government Capital funding and operational cash flows are taken
into account.
Investor Meetings
The Executive Team has announced a series of meetings in London
and Edinburgh, with existing and potential investors, on 11 and 18
June 2019. These meetings are designed to provide a performance
update and further information on the Group restructure and
Leadership changes.
