Watmough to stand down from role at Alpha Living in the summer
An experienced and well-known social housing sector finance specialist has announced he will be retiring this summer.
Darren Watmough, director of finance and resources at Wirral-based specialist later living provider Alpha Living, is standing down following a 36-year career in housing.
Watmough began his housing career as a management accountant at Northern Counties Housing Association, before working for Warrington Housing Association and BME provider Arawak Walton.
Between 2018 and 2021 he worked for the Regulator of Social Housing as strategic implementation manager.
He has also held a range of non-executive positions including chair of property surveying consultancy Pennington Choices, and board member positions at Salix Homes and Community Gateway Housing Association.
Watmough said: “After thirty six years of working for housing associations, charities and in the commercial sector, culminating in two and a half years working for the life-changing, amazing Alpha Living, I’ve decided to retire from full-time work in the summer.
“It’s been my privilege to meet some fabulous people over the course of my career. I’m hoping that retirement gives me the opportunity to see more of them and also to meet new people who, like me, want to see a better world for everyone.”
