Caledonia Housing Association has welcomed Samuel Zachariah as its new Procurement Lead.
Samuel joins Caledonia from the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust in Kendal where he was the Deputy Integrated Procurement Manager following 19 years’ experience in the Oil and Gas and Healthcare sectors.
Taking on the newly formed procurement role, Samuel will be responsible for Caledonia’s procurement strategy and will manage and provide expert advice, information and support on all procurement activities, generating value for money through effective and sustainable procurement.
Samuel said: “I am excited about the opportunity to join Caledonia Housing Association as I understand the importance of the homes and services it provides while the organisation is regarded as a great place to work. I’m impressed by Caledonia’s vision of making a positive impact to communities by providing high-quality, energy-efficient housing with services that are affordable, sustainable and valued by our customers.”
Barry Johnstone, Director of People at Caledonia Housing Association, commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Samuel to join the team. He brings a wealth of experience which will be critical in delivering our procurement strategy that is an essential focus for the business and the ongoing success of Caledonia.”
In March, the housing association hosted its own #InspireInclusion event to celebrate International Women’s Day 2024. More on that story here.
