Housing association chief executive to retire
The chief executive of Black Country Housing Group (BCHG) is set to retire so she can focus on her “ever-expanding family”.
Amanda Tomlinson has been head of BCHG since 2013. She will step down at the end of April 2025.
Ms Tomlinson has worked in the social housing sector for around 30 years, moving from her role as a chartered accountant to finance director, before becoming managing director at housing association Bromford.

She joined BCHG in 2010 as assistant chief executive before being appointed to the top job in 2013.
Ms Tomlinson said working in social housing is an “immense privilege” and her colleagues at the housing association have made her role as chief executive “hugely enjoyable”.
She said: “BCHG is a special organisation and I will be sad to leave, however my ever-expanding family needs me now.
“BCHG has an amazing board and senior leadership team who will continue to set the bar high for our customers.”
Ms Tomlinson added that she will still retain a number of non-executive roles in the charity and education sectors.
Sinéad Butters, chair of the board at BCHG, said: “Amanda has led BCHG to an excellent position in her 14 years with the company, with high regulatory ratings and a strong people first culture.
“She will leave a legacy that will last long after she has departed – an indelible impact of high standards, professionalism and kindness.”
BCHG owns and manages around 2,200 homes across the Black Country and Birmingham.
The association was upgraded for financial viability last year and is currently rated G1/V1.
