AGM 2023: Maintaining Our Purpose
At our recent Annual General Meeting (AGM), we reaffirmed our commitment to addressing housing needs and homelessness. Despite significant financial challenges, Michael Newey, Chief Executive, assured a continued focus during the cost-of-living crisis and rising interest rates.
The AGM highlighted Broadland’s ongoing efforts to balance managing existing homes, delivering quality services, and building new homes to meet growing housing demand, all while ensuring sustainability.
