New Finance Director Emma Robertson Appointed at Ayrshire Housing

Emma Robertson started working at Ayrshire Housing. This housing association began in 2003. It resulted from merging two groups then. They were Carrick Housing and South Ayrshire Homes. Emma previously worked at The Wee House Company. This company specializes in modular construction.

She was the chief financial officer there. Emma is a chartered accountant. She graduated from Strathclyde University. Emma trained with PWC. This is a global management consultancy. She has worked in several industries, including manufacturing, construction, and distilling.

Connect Modular entered administration this year, as did Hope South West. These companies are part of The Wee House Group. Around 50 people lost their jobs. While related, the businesses were linked to The Wee House Company. The impact on that company is still unconfirmed.

Emma will help Ayrshire Housing build new homes. These homes will meet local needs. She is happy to join the team here. Emma expects to work well with everyone. She also wants to share her experience.
