In this second instalment of our Housing Crisis mini-series, I’m joined by Rhys Brown of Cavendish Consulting, a public relations, public affairs, and communications consultancy.

Rhys has been active in local politics for the past six years, leading successful campaigns at a local level. He now plays a key role in working with housebuilders, managing community engagement to help deliver successful planning outcomes. His insights—both from a political perspective and through his career at Cavendish—offer a unique look behind the scenes at the political challenges, the complexities of the planning system, and the upcoming changes that could impact housebuilding.

The Agent’s Journal (www.theagentsjournal.co.uk) is a podcast, blog, and newsletter for estate agents. Our goal is to provide a resource that helps estate agents grow their businesses while deepening their understanding of the wider, deeply interconnected property industry—building expertise and enabling them to offer expert advice.
