Lisa Treanor – Project Officer
Lisa joined the Connected Response team in April 2022. She is at the sharp end of Connected Response’s operations, liaising face-to-face with tenants, reassuring them about HeatSage technology and explaining how it will improve their heating experience.
After school, Lisa worked in the care sector looking after adults with special needs and children. She subsequently moved into the energy sector, spending twelve years with Home Energy Scotland as an energy adviser. In this role, Lisa provided advice and guidance to those looking to make their properties more heat efficient through energy-related grants awarded under the Scottish Government’s ‘Warmer Homes Scotland’ scheme.
‘I love my job. There is never a dull day. My principal activity is direct tenant engagement, door knocking to generate appointments for our installer teams. I also liaise with Housing Officers and other partners.
Most of the residents I speak to are social housing tenants. They are an extremely diverse group of people; no two conversations are the same. When I speak to tenants about HeatSage, they are typically appreciative that something is being done. They are fed up of being too hot in the morning and too cold in the evening.’
Lisa is a Glasgow Eastender born and bred and, apart from a brief foray into Ayrshire, she has lived in the city all her life:
‘Being a Glasgow native is a great help when speaking to Wheatley Homes Glasgow tenants. My accent reassures the tenants and makes it easier to engage. I’m looking forward to supporting our projects in West Dunbartonshire and Lanarkshire.’
Lisa’s passion outside work is horse riding which she has done since she was a child. Pleas to Kenny (Kenny Cameron – Managing Director) to purchase a Connected Response steed have so far fallen on deaf ears!
Lisa’s Recommendation
Lisa loves visiting ruins and follies. She recommends Bangour Village Hospital in West Lothian. A former mental hospital based on the enlightened ‘continental colony’ or ‘village’ system, Bangour is currently being redeveloped for housing so you’ll have to move quickly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangour_Village_Hospital).
