We are pleased to share that following a rigorous recruitment process, we have appointed Adrian Burke as our new Chief Executive Officer.

Adrian, who currently serves as CEO at First Choice Housing Association, brings extensive leadership experience and a strong track record in housing and community services.

Throughout the interview process, involving members of our Board as well as colleagues and customers, Adrian demonstrated his commitment to collaboration, community and delivering high-quality services.

Neil Davies, Chair of the Board, said:

“We are thrilled that Adrian will be joining us as our new CEO. He has a strong passion for providing homes that support customers and communities. We look forward to working with Adrian, strengthening our mission focus and reinforcing our vision to play our role in helping communities thrive.”

Adrian, who will join us mid-summer, added:

“I am really looking forward to joining the team at Hafod. It is a huge privilege to be chosen as their next CEO and have the opportunity to work alongside colleagues making a real difference in communities across south Wales.

“Hafod is a truly mission driven organisation, rooted in strengths-based approaches and customer centred practice. I am hugely excited to be part of their next chapter.”

Adrian replaces Jas Bains, who recently stepped down as Hafod’s CEO, having held the position since 2017.
