"Mark undertook a very comprehensive review of our assets that allowed us to plan future investment that supported improving existing homes and increase housing supply in the right places to have a positive impact on our business plan. As our Interim Development Director, he led schemes onto site and took further schemes into design and planning stages. All of his work was to an exceptionally high standard, well-articulated and politically astute."
Andrew Potter, CEO, Lewisham Homes
