We’re pleased to share that the Tai Calon Board has unanimously appointed Richard Hopkins as our new Chief Executive. Richard is already well known across our organisation and communities. He brings a deep understanding of Tai Calon, a strong commitment to our CALON values, and a clear vision for how we will continue to grow and improve.

We thank Kevin Bennett, our Chief Executive for the past six months, for the energy he’s brought to the role and wish him every success in the future.

Richard’s appointment comes at a pivotal time as we focus on delivering our Mission: to go beyond affordable housing and help create vibrant, inclusive communities across Blaenau Gwent.

With our sights set on our Vision for 2029, where over 95% of customers are satisfied with the services they receive, we’re confident that Richard’s leadership will help us achieve that Vision.

We’re excited about the future and remain committed to making a lasting difference with our customers, partners and colleagues.
