The motion

That the Parliament notes the announcement that Craig Stirrat, chief executive of Grampian Housing Association, will be retiring in Autumn 2026; recognises that Craig has been chief executive since April 2022, having first joined the organisation in 2014, during which time Grampian Housing Association has been accredited with Best Companies as an outstanding place to work and secured the Customer Service Excellence Standard thanks to the flagship Grampian Deal initiative; understands that Craig has spent over 40 years in the social housing sector, during which time he has served on the Chartered Institute of Housing in Scotland board, the UK HouseMark Board, the Scottish Advisory Board, and currently serves on the Board of the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations; further understands that Craig’s lasting impact in the social housing sector led to him being awarded the Chartered Institute of Housing in Scotland’s Lifetime Achievement award in 2023; believes that Craig can be rightly proud of the contribution he has made to social housing, nationally as well as locally, and hopes he enjoys his very well-earned rest when he steps down.
