A social landlord responsible for 38,000 homes has appointed a new CEO.

Ian Wardle will become A2Dominion’s second CEO and will be responsible for developing the groups’ strategic and commercial direction.

Currently at the Thirteen Group, where he has been CEO since 2016, Ian will join A2Dominion in September.

Prior to this, Ian was Managing Director of Reading Borough Council, Director of Regeneration Services at Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council, Project Director for the Sunniside Regeneration Project in Sunderland, and Development Director at Taylor Wimpey.

Ian said: “It is an exciting time to join A2Dominion to assist in its future service delivery. I am looking forward very much to working with customers, colleagues and partners to face the future with continued strength and to build on the great work to date.”

Earlier this year, A2Dominion announced the appointment of a new Chair, Alan Collett, who takes over from Ian Cox on 23 March 2022 on completion of his maximum nine-year term in office.

In a joint statement, Alan Collet and Ian Cox said: “We are delighted to welcome Ian Wardle as our new permanent CEO. He has demonstrated a passion for customers, their housing and their communities, and also the driving through of efficiencies to assist in-house teams in delivering the services that turn houses into secure and safe homes.”
