He has successfully delivered a range of residential and commercial schemes and has a diverse property portfolio across several sectors including BTLs, serviced accommodation, social housing, and supported living. Over the last decade, Russ has worked closely with care providers, housing associations and local authorities to ensure quality, sustainable supported living accommodation that improves the lives of those who need it. His expertise and vision drive the success of our events and the valuable discussions they foster.
