I am passionate about creating truly sustainable homes and places where people want to live and that are integrated into the local community. To make communities work for those living in and around them, I believe we need to give careful and considered thought to the way they are designing and managed.
The homes and places we create must enhance their locations for current and future generations. BtR and affordable homes can play a vital part in shaping the UK's housing offer and I want to use my skills and experience to help others deliver great homes and communities.
