In this episode Gerard is joined by group chief executive of housing association inCommunities, Geraldine Howley OBE, who has headed the organisation since its inception in 2003.
A key influential figure across the housing sector both in her local patch of Bradford and West Yorkshire and nationally, Geraldine gives us an insight into the complexity of setting up a housing association from scratch, moving to a 30-year strategic plan, getting the right balance of housing stock, both old and new, for any given area and crucially how a housing association can work in partnership with housing developers to form a complementary, rather than competitive, relationship.
