With twenty-eight years of experience in the field of empty properties, I have developed a deep expertise in sourcing property, tracing owners, and devising effective solutions. My career has involved significant collaboration with both local and central government, notably at the Empty Homes Agency. Throughout my journey, I have traveled across the country, speaking on the subject of empty properties and have successfully brought approximately 1,000 empty homes back into use. My efforts in this field have not gone unnoticed, as evidenced by my extensive media experience, which includes radio, television, and press appearances. Among my media highlights is participating in three series of the BBC 1 show, "Britain's Empty Homes." Known for being a skilled communicator and networker, I excel in connecting key individuals and driving collaborative efforts to achieve tangible results. My public speaking skills are well-honed, with a proven comfort in addressing audiences of varying sizes, including crowds in the thousands. My career has constantly put me in touch with a multitude of highly intelligent and motivated individuals and companies, fostering a rich environment for collaborative ideas and projects.
