Melville has welcomed a new Head of Asset Management to its team, following the retirement of long-standing Property Services head Nancy Booth. 

Rich Murdoch joins Melville from Fife-based Kingdom Housing Association where he spent eight years working in repairs and maintenance. 

With a background as a qualified quantity surveyor, Rich is a member of the Chartered Management Institute and brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience gained over 14 years working in the housing sector.

"Making a difference to people's lives is what really drives me. I've always taken an enormous amount of satisfaction from that and look forward to bringing this to my new role."

Outside work Rich enjoys spending time with his family. He's also a keen gardener and golfer and is a trustee of DPCG, a golfing charity that promotes the health and wellbeing benefits of accessible golf in the community.
