Honest Conversations Podcast: finding a sustainable approach to social housing

As the 2050 deadline for the UK to reach net zero looms closer, it’s becoming increasingly important that sustainability is built into business models and building design if the target is to be reached. 

Campbell Tickell (CT), a UK Management and Recruitment Consultancy, explores the big issues surrounding the social housing sector in the latest episode of its ‘Honest Conversations’ podcast, launched in July 2021.

Director of Campbell Tickell and leader of management in sustainability for CT, Jon Slade said: ‘There’s perhaps no issue bigger in scale, cost and duration, than the journey towards a more sustainable approach to social housing than net zero’.

In this week’s episode, Mr Slade, talks to Adam Broadway, Associate Consultant at Campbell Tickell, and Samantha Granger, Head of Environmental Sustainability at Thirteen Group.

Together the experts discuss the Retrofit London Action Plan, resident engagement when retrofitting housing stock and achieving net zero by 2050 and provide practical advice on how people can make the journey towards net zero and become more substantiable.  

Jon Slade has worked at CT for nine years and Samantha Granger has been Head of Environmental Sustainability at Thirteen Group for the past year showing they have years of experience within the sustainability sector; however, both agree there is far more to discuss on this topic. 

Established for over 20 years, Campbell Tickell have worked with more than 1,000 organisations throughout the UK and Ireland including housing associations, care providers and charities.
