Young Group was founded in 2003 to exploit a gap in the market. Individual investors could work with private bankers and financial advisers to invest in many assets but not directly into residential assets. Young Group bridged the gap to enable private investors to invest directly into residential assets. We covered the full service through Young Finance (mortgages), Young Furnishing and Young London (award winning let and management). Around the time of the financial crisis 2008/09 we saw another gap in the market. Institutional investors were interested in investing in the Private Rented Sector. However, the sector lacked experience. We therefore launched our blog site PRSUpdate to share our knowledge. This helped institutions understand the residential sector better and gave confidence to invest. We were then approached by corporates, institutional investors and Housing Associations for advice. Young Group then focused more on the wave of interest into what became the Build to Rent (BtR) sector. We were one of the driving forces behind the creation of the BtR sector. Our clients included Essential Living, Folio (Notting Hill Housing), Capco, Aviva, Delancey and Qatari Diar. Having advised the investors behind Get Living / East Village since 2011 (Delancey/Qatari Diar), in 2014 the four Directors of Young Group were asked to join Get Living as the Executive Team to take the business forward. We set up Get Living and grew it to 3,000 operational homes (8,000 homes including those under construction and in planning) and won Property Week's Landlord of the Year 4 out of 5 years. It became a £2bn+ listed REIT.In September 2019 I stepped down as Chief Executive at Get Living. Some of my colleagues and I are now back at (rebranded) Young. We are now using our experience to both set up firms and help early stage firms in the living sector.

In towns and cities across the world today… You can save a life but not have enough to own your home, or protect a whole community yet never be a part of it. You could inspire the next generation, but live somewhere that feels defeating.As a society, we rely on people like these - key workers - to turn-up day-in and day-out and provide us with care, safety and education. But why isn’t our housing industry turning up for them? As their salaries only go so far, how are we protecting their physical, mental and social needs?QIQO is focused on confronting the inequalities faced by predominantly single key workers by providing well-located, affordable and community-focused homes. Our homes are for rent, and are designed to provide a stepping stone for key workers to eventually make their own way in the housing market. We are not proposing to solve the housing crisis alone, but we can take a step towards it.

I led the team that set up and built Get Living into an ambitious, multi-award winning private residential landlord that has pioneered the charge in challenging the real estate industry to put residents squarely at the forefront of the rental experience.Get Living changed the way people live and rent through its promise of no deposits, no fees, no hassle. Under my leadership, Get Living went from a start up to a £2bn REIT of more than 8,000 homes operational, under construction or in planning within brilliant big city neighbourhoods in London, Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow. A fervent supporter of raising professional standards in the residential property sector, I regularly shared my views on the sector at industry events and with national media. I was a member of the British Property Federation's Residential Board, Central Government’s MHCLG joint BtR committee (still on this), a founding Board member of the UK Apartment Association (UKAA) and Chaired UKAA Operations Committee.
