NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR APPOINTED AT SALIX HOMES

A new executive director has joined the leadership team at Salix Homes.

Eric Tamanis took up the post of Executive Director of Resources earlier this month (November), taking over the reins from Sara Sharrock, who has left the organisation to take up a new post as Chief Executive of Empower Housing Association in Chorley.

Eric joins our three-strong Executive Management Team, working alongside our Chief Executive Sue Sutton and Executive Director of Operations Sian Grant.

Eric has worked in the social housing sector for more than 30 years, having qualified as an accountant during his early career and going on to hold directorate responsibilities for finance, property services and business development in various organisations.

At Salix Homes, Eric is responsible for overseeing all our back-office support services, which includes Finance, Performance, Governance, People Services, Marketing and ICT.
