Clarion Housing Group has appointed Ian Woosey to its newly-created role of chief information officer. Before joining Clarion, Woosey was CIO of, respectively, food distributor Brakes and Carpetright.
Woosey’s role will focus on IT, business solutions, data and business intelligence functions, as well as preparations for the initial roll-out of Clarion’s ERP platform later this year.
He said, “I look forward to applying my experience of customer-facing businesses to help Clarion take a strategic role within the sector. There are huge opportunities for housing providers to benefit from further digitisation and the internet of things, and these will both be key focus areas for us.”
