Executive Team
Marcia Sinfield, Chief Executive
Marcia joined Caredig as its Chief Executive in January 2020. Prior to that she was Deputy Chief Executive at Tai Calon Community Housing. A qualified accountant, Marcia has held senior roles in social housing and local government, including supporting regeneration projects at Cardiff Council. She has held Board Member positions and is currently a lay member of Swansea University.
She believes that providing good quality affordable housing is essential to maintaining healthy, resilient communities and that this is a key driver of prosperous local economies. Marcia is committed to providing person centred outcomes for tenants and service users and recognises the importance of kindness in all relationships.
Marcia relaxes using alternative therapies, including yoga and reflexology, to support her well-being. She also enjoys walking with her springer spaniel and the family – in that order 🙂

Emma has also been a Non-Executive Director for First Choice Housing Association since 2019 and currently serves as their Chair for the People & Culture Committee.

She is also passionate about Social Housing and really enjoys working in the Sector, "there really is no other sector like it".
Outside of work, Mair has recently been appointed the Vice Chair of Governors at Penglais Secondary School in Aberystwyth. She also spends her spare time walking her ever-energetic Labrador, trying to learn Italian (badly) and until very recently, has been an unpaid and far too available taxi driver for her teenagers.
