Kenneth Gibson MSP formally opened CHA’s newly refurbished Head Office in Ardrossan on Friday 28th March 2008.  Joining the MSP were members of the voluntary Management Committee of Cunninghame Housing Association, the Provost of North Ayrshire Council, Councillors, tenants’ representatives, partners and staff.

The premises were refurbished during the course of last year, with works being carried out to meet the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act and the desire to open up the Association’s reception area and services to be more customer focused and user-friendly.

Opening the ceremony, Frank Sweeney, Chief Executive of CHA commented: “that the Association is delighted that our local MSP, Kenneth Gibson, could be here to officiate at this important occasion for the Association.”

Margaret Munn, Vice-Chairperson of CHA echoed the Chief Executive’s comments saying: “CHA in responding to a request to our customers have improved the reception area facilities and brings it into the 21 century.  By redesigning the front office we have greatly enhanced provision of services and ensured equal access for all our clients, making the area more user friendly.  This marks another important stage in the development and forward thinking of CHA and I am proud to be part of it.”

Kenneth Gibson MSP on officially unveiling a plaque in the Reception area said:  "I am delighted to have had the opportunity to open this excellent new facility. Cunninghame Housing Association is one of the most innovative, ambitious and forward thinking housing associations not just in Scotland but the entire UK.  This investment will go a long way to help improve the working conditions for CHA staff and the service provided to tenants.  The designers, management and board should be commended for their hard work in bringing this quality development to fruition."
