A veteran of the student accommodation sector, Bob Crompton is best known for his leadership, backed by venture capitalists, that saw him develop an international student housing portfolio from scratch in 2010, to sell for around £1.5bn six years later.
In this podcast, Bob gives a personal account of how a young Bolton man from a mining family moved into the residential sector, cutting his teeth under Berkeley Group’s Tony Pidgeley, and recognised early on a golden opportunity in the student housing boom. He describes the journey of building a successful and dynamic team and culture, navigating the political and financial landscape of the build to rent market and what opportunities for the future lie within it.
