Radian Group’s assistant director of technology and innovation, Sheila Starr, has taken over the chair of the Bath Group from Longhurst Group’s director of IT, Darren Ryland.
The Bath Group (Business and Technology in Housing) was set up six years ago with the aim of providing a way for larger housing providers (those with 10,000+ properties) to benchmark their IT expenditure, skills, staffing and systems via an annual survey. Since its inception, the group has created a quarterly forum for senior IT professionals to discuss technology trends and strategy insights. However, the group now intends to open its membership to housing providers of all sizes.
The group’s next meeting is on 03 October; please contact sheila.starr@radian.co.uk for membership enquiries and details of the forthcoming meeting.
