Our client looks after almost 4.5 million homes across England. Providing a truly essential service, many of these homes are aspirational in terms of design, placemaking and sustainability. However, they are older stock and under-invested following years of budgetary squeezes – but they are committed to hitting the Net Zero target of 2050.
Their current housing stock must become ‘green’, and attain an EPC ‘C’ rating by 2035. This is the same story for many providers across the UK and so recruiting talent in decarbonisation is extremely challenging.
