The HIP: The Housing Industry Podcast
The housing crisis looms large. The UK’s crying out for housing stock, and new builds can play a huge role in the recovery. Diversity and inclusion is finally getting the attention it deserves at a strategic level. Although there’s plenty of work still to do. And environmental concerns are taking centre stage, with time running out to reach ambitious targets in net zero carbon emissions. Suffice to say, the UK housing sector is going through a period of great change right now. With everything developing at such a pace, it can be hard to keep your finger on the pulse. That’s why we’ve launched The Housing Industry Podcast. Featuring lively conversations with key leaders in the housing sector, The Housing Industry Podcast will provide real value to anyone working in the UK housing market who cares about making a difference.

Housing Fringe - Building a Balanced Board
Board effectiveness is a direct result of the board's composition, which is why good governance dictates that the composition should be built according to the organisation's needs. But with a rapidly changing and often volatile marketplace, how can you ensure your board composition is right?
In our first episode of AJ’s new Housing Fringe, we speak with Sara Shanab, Cris McGuiness, Patrick Ricketts and Mark Howorth to glean insight on how their career journeys have shaped the way they approach building balanced boards.
With Sara hosting the episode, really igniting the conversation, we learn about the key ingredients required to create a balanced board so that it can become a strategic asset for your organisation, infused with fresh perspectives and aligned on a clear vision.
We also cover -
- The need for diverse boards spanning across all industries, not just housing.
- How diversity must be considered across various factors.
- Utilising your recruitment consultants wisely by letting them in to get to know your culture and your values.
- The best ways to look for your rising stars.
- Why it’s important to get to know your board.
- The need to continually challenge and share our experiences.
What a panel and what a discussion! It’s certainly one not to be missed…
