Audrey Simpson will take over as Cairn Housing Association’s chief executive in April

Edinburgh housing association Cairn has appointed Audrey Simpson, current Scotland Director for Newcastle-based Home Group, as its new CEO to replace Jason MacGlip.

MacGlip has been Cairn’s CEO since 2011 and announced in October last year that it was time “for me to move on and for someone else to take up the leadership role”.

Simpson was previously chief executive of Glasgow-based Ardenglen Housing Association. Before this, she worked for 12 years at Queens Cross Housing Association, another housing provider in Glasgow.

Simpson will take up her post at Cairn in April. Until then, Ken Tudhope, Cairn’s finance and people Services Director, will be the interim CEO.
