On Board

Farewell to David David Booth

Earlier this year we said a fond farewell to David Booth, who retired as chairman of Muir Group Housing Association’s board after four years in the role.

David joined Muir’s Board in 2000, becoming its chair in 2011.

During his 20 years with the Association, David has seen Muir grow to become more than just a landlord. 

David said he feels very privileged to have  worked alongside some dynamic and forward-thinking people during his time at Muir.

 “I have enjoyed my time at Muir immensely and it was a real wrench to go. I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved over the years, and I leave in the knowledge that Muir is in safe hands thanks to the strong leadership and governance we have in place,” said David.

David retires with the best wishes of the board and its thanks for his impressive achievements.  He will be replaced as chair by fellow board member David Gardiner, who has great experience working with regulatory bodies.

He added: “Our incoming chair, David Gardiner, has a wealth of experience and he will ensure that Muir continues to redefine excellence across the business.  He will undoubtedly have tremendous support from all who work there, and I wish him and Muir every success for the future.”
