Advice for someone moving into the sector?
This is a fantastic time to work in housing. Value your colleagues’ opinions but be creative. Try to make a difference, however small, and choose an employer whose vision matches yours.
Favourite book
The ODPM’s housing transfer manual. No, only joking! My all-time favourite is Consider Phlebas by Iain M Banks. It’s a sci-fi epic of the first order.
Favourite film
Pedro Almodovar’s All About My Mother – Alien comes a close second.
Favourite TV programme
Little Britain.
Hobbies
I love the theatre, and exploring the hidden side of London, finding less accessible places.
What did you want to be when you were a child?
