Our Senior Management

Originally from Ebbw Vale, Brian has been with CCHA since early 2019, as its Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Central Services. In 2023, he became our new Chief Executive! Before joining CCHA he was Director of Finance and IT at Rhondda Housing.  He qualified as an accountant around 30 years ago and later graduated from Warwick Business School with an Executive MBA. Brian started working life with the former Gwent County Council and has had a varied career primarily in finance and project delivery roles. He has worked for organisations including the Audit Commission, Standard Chartered Bank, National Audit Office, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Welsh Government. At Welsh Government he led the work on a new funding stream supported by a £100 million facility from M&G Investments, which delivered 1,000 new affordable homes across Wales.  

Brian now lives in Barry with his wife Liz and sons Ioan and Llyr, and loves spending time at the coast. Brian is a self-confessed music fanatic and a connoisseur of rock and roll, happily chatting to anyone about the best albums from the decades. He also plays in a band, specialising in rock covers, and has been known to take to the stage himself on a night out if there’s an empty microphone and willing audience. 

Naveeda was promoted to the role of Corporate Director of Central Services in 2023. After graduating from Cardiff University with a degree in Accounting and Management, she completed her training contract and qualified as a Chartered Accountant with PricewaterhouseCoopers.  This was followed by a move into Industry working at Revlon Inc for a few years before eventually moving to the social housing sector. She joined CCHA in November 2020 as a Head of Finance. Alongside her work commitments, Naveeda is the Treasurer and Trustee director at the Welsh Refugee Council and Chair of the Get into Housing/Pathway to Board Project Board. 

 
When she’s not bossing it at work, Naveeda is very passionate about human rights, equality and social justice. She also loves the outdoors, cooking and spending time with family and friends. 

Andrew Bradley joined CCHA in November 2019 and became CCHA’s Head of Asset Management and Decarbonisation in February 2021. He was appointed as our new Director of Assets and Property in August 2024. 

Andrew has over 30 years’ experience working in the social housing sector and has been in leadership roles for over 15 years.

Prior to working at CCHA, Andrew was the Head of Asset Management for Trivallis for over 5 years.

Alongside his work commitments, Andrew is an Internal Verifier and examiner for the Chartered Institute of Building.

Andrew has a love for all types of music, often going to concerts on his own, as his music has an acquired taste! He’s also known to don a costume or two throughout the year and is the festive quizmaster for CCHA.

Kirsty has 20 years housing experience, working across housing and third sector organisations. She is passionate about ensuring that everyone has somewhere safe, and secure to call home and that home is part of a resilient community.

Kirsty came to CCHA from Cynon Taf Community Housing Group, where she led the housing and communities directorate for almost four years. As director, her portfolio covers housing and property services, so she understands the importance of delivering strong, effective housing and support services, alongside robust maintenance delivery, to ensure that the tenant experience is a positive one.

This passion and commitment feeds into creating open and positive conversations, so colleagues, tenants and the wider community play a key role in shaping customer facing services, as well as providing a platform where their voices are heard as part of the decision making process.

Outside of work, Kirsty’s passion and commitment is channelled into her family, as well as her fitness and wellbeing.
