Robert will be leading Circle’s well established finance team, which recently won the Outstanding Finance Communication award at the HANAAs for work that was led by Corporate Finance Director, Paul Rickard. Circle has a strong reputation as a financially robust organisation, and has issued several successful bonds in the past few years.
Circle’s CEO, Mark Rogers said:

“The scale and reach of the Circle business provides a tremendous opportunity to expand the provision of housing and associated services at a time when many Associations will be constrained by financial or management capacity to deliver in a changing environment. I am looking forward to being part of an organisation that makes a considerable difference to so many peoples’ lives.”
