  • Bringing Development and Asset Teams Together for the Benefit of Tenants
    Apr 23 2025

    This week, Sarah Daly from Agile Homes joined The Social Housing Round Table to ask a crucial question: how do the decisions we make at the point of development ripple into long-term asset spend and more importantly, tenant experience?

    Drawing on her extensive background across sustainability, retrofit and neighbourhood regeneration, Sarah opened a wide ranging conversation on how better communication between development and asset teams could unlock serious long-term value.

    More than 50 people joined live for a session that sparked debate, challenged assumptions and made a compelling case for joined up thinking across housing providers.

    Tune in to become part of the conversation today.

    Apr 15 2025

    This week’s Social Housing Round Table welcomed Simon Elsworth, Operations Manager at Sovereign Network Group, for a lively and wide-ranging conversation on recruitment in the housing sector.

    With perspectives from execs, tenants, recruiters, consultants, and front-line staff, the session explored the tension between valuing sector experience and hiring purely on skills. It’s a big, timely conversation—and one that easily could’ve run twice as long.

    Tune in for fresh thinking, straight talk, and plenty of ideas from all corners of the sector.
