Brian Gannon, chief executive of West of Scotland Housing Association, has announced his decision to step down and retire in spring 2025.

Before becoming chief executive of WSHA in 2019, Gannon was head of housing and community regeneration at Thenue Housing Association, another Glasgow-based social landlord. He spent nearly 20 years at Thenue, joining in 1998. 

During his time at WSHA, Gannon has led the organisation through a merger with Charing Cross Housing in 2022, which included the transfer of 500 tenancies to WSHA.
