Thrive buys properties, adds value by refurbishing, extending and sometimes repurposing, and then holds the properties for the long term to rent out by the room to young professionals. By sourcing the right properties at the right price in the right areas we maximise opportunity for capital growth. By designing and executing exceptional living environments for our customers we maximise rental returns: our tenants stay with us longer and are more respectful of the properties. We measure the gap between tenants in any particular room in days rather than weeks or months.The challenge with property investing is that it requires knowledge, time and effort to make secure returns that perform well with minimal input. That’s why not everyone does it - the principles might be simple but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. That’s where we come in. We take care of pretty much everything for you. We are incredibly passionate and proud of our business models, and their ability to generate safe, secure and substantial returns for our investors and ourselves, as well as providing beautiful accommodation, at affordable prices, for our professional tenants.

I am an experienced personal injury specialist and accept instructions in a broad range of Multi-track injury matters, including fraud rings and staged accidents. I am the preferred counsel for a number of large insurers in this area. I also regularly cover Credit Hire. My practice in employers’ liability covers spinal and subtle brain injury, for claimants and defendants, as well as the full range of more prosaic work-related injury e.g. lifting and falling. I have also provided advice and representation in industrial disease claims for over a decade e.g. deafness, asbestos, respiratory conditions, skin disorders and upper limb conditions/RSI. All aspects of these claims are handled from pre-litigation advice through to CCMCs, trial and costs.Clinical NegligenceI usually deal with claims against the NHS Trusts and other medical practitioners with most areas of practice and malpractice the subject of regular instructions. By way of example, I recently negotiated a settlement for Claimant at a round table meeting for £300,000.I am an employment law specialist who provides representation at Tribunal and EAT level for claimants and respondents in dismissal, discrimination and whistleblowing claims. Commercial clients include both private enterprises and PLCs. I am regularly instructed in long, high value discrimination claims with high success rates, one example being an award of nearly £100,000 for a probation officer with depression who was overworked, unsupported and harassed. He recently advised on a whistleblowing claim against a government department, then provided representation at the judicial mediation to achieve a settlement of nearly £300,000. I have represented a broad range of clients from police officers to GPs, tech workers to craftsmen, agricultural workers to lawyers and including clients with significant disabilities requiring sensitivity, understanding and clear communication (e.g. Asperger’s, depression and brain injury).
