Rosehill bids fond farewell to Geri Mogan

Geri retired at the end of May, bringing to a close an impressive 35-year career with Rosehill.

Geri has been at the heart of the association through some of its most important milestones. Most notably, she led the organisation through its transition from a fully mutual housing co-operative to a charitable housing association — a significant change that led to increased opportunities and safeguarded the future of Rosehill.

Colleagues and governing body members describe her leadership as steady, thoughtful and deeply committed to the community. Under her guidance, Rosehill has continued to flourish as a strong and resilient organisation delivering excellent services to tenants and residents through strong governance, sound finances and consistent high performance.

Her impact reaches far beyond the organisation itself. Over the years, Geri has played a key role in collaborative partnerships across Greater Pollok, leaving a lasting mark on the wider community.

As she steps down, Geri leaves Rosehill in a strong position for the future — a testament to her years of hard work and dedication. She will be greatly missed by colleagues, partners and the community she has served for so long.

On retiring, Geri said: “I have had the honour and privilege to have served Rosehill’s tenants and the Pollok Community for the last 35 years. I have seen big changes in Pollok and I’m proud to say that Rosehill has played its part in driving improvements in the local area.

“I started at Rosehill as a housing assistant in 1991 and have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to develop my career here, moving into senior management roles from the late 90s and as director for the last 8 years. 

“It was a huge decision to leave and not one I took lightly. I have many happy memories of my time at Rosehill and I am proud to have played my part in its long and successful history. I have worked with many great people, past and present, committee and staff alike. At the heart of Rosehill’s success is its people; having a great committee and staff team ensures Rosehill will continue to flourish and meet the challenges facing the sector.”

Paula McCann, chair, said: “On behalf of the management committee, I want to thank Geri for her outstanding service to Rosehill and to the wider Pollok community over the past 35 years. Geri has been a stable and trusted presence throughout her time here, showing real commitment, care and leadership in all she has done. She has helped guide Rosehill through important change and challenge, while always keeping our tenants, residents and community at the heart of every decision.

“Her contribution has made a genuine and lasting difference, not just to the organisation, but to the people and local area we are proud to serve. We wish Geri a long, happy and well-earned retirement, and thank her sincerely for everything she has given to Rosehill and to the Pollok community.”
