“It’s important to be uncomfortable and use that as a starting point for conversations.”

@johngaryorr @abrigroup Welcome Lou - great to have you join Abri.

[Andy Skarzynski @AMSkarzynski]

@johngaryorr @abrigroup While I’m not sure Herbert would approve of sartorial standards slipping so low as to allow working without a bow-tie, I do think he’d approve of our development programme and would be proud of how the organisation he started has grown and developed!

[Andy Skarzynski @AMSkarzynski]

Despite a strong sense of our heritage and history, our organisation has always been primarily about looking forwards - today marks the start of a new chapter. A new name and a new strategy that sets out what we want to achieve.

[Abri @abrigroup]

This is a huge moment for us. But a new name is just the start. Now it's about making our plans a reality 🏠 🌠 You can find our full strategy here: https://t.co/vXku6Gc9np

@johngaryorr @yarlingtonhg @radiangroup Great to share it all with colleagues. Looking forward to sharing with customers.

[Andy Skarzynski @AMSkarzynski]

@johngaryorr I’m there as one of those 30,000! Hoping for some insights that might help Radian drive positive behavioural change for colleagues and customers on big topics like carbon reduction.

I’ve written a brief blog- hoping that some good will come out of this bloody awful Covid-19 ...’there’s no place like home’ : https://t.co/AIMSwhuHyL… #ukhousing @natfednews

[Andy Skarzynski @AMSkarzynski]

@johngaryorr @natfednews Very timely thought piece Gary. Exactly right.

[Andy Skarzynski @AMSkarzynski]

Great questions from everyone in a packed conference room about how Comms can align with the corporate strategy and gain top-table understanding and acceptance. Thanks to @emjmidge and @natfedevents

[Andy Skarzynski @AMSkarzynski]

@johngaryorr @CMYarlington @Ralph_Facey @SLYarlington @samyarlington @gburtonconnolly I’m in!

[Andy Skarzynski @AMSkarzynski]

@CG_Yarlington @FinancialTimes Feels strongly like the words ‘carbon negative’ are going to become more prevalent than ‘carbon neutral’ this year. A definite challenge for the housing sector to grapple with.

[Andy Skarzynski @AMSkarzynski]

@radiangroup @CarleneLW @24housing @24housing_news @yarlingtonhg @johngaryorr Absolutely right Carlene. We have >1300 smart & driven people. Harnessing their ideas and opinions is an essential ingredient for success.

[Andy Skarzynski @AMSkarzynski]

@CMYarlington @yarlingtonhg @radiangroup Social Housing clearly understanding how our new capacity aligned with continued commitment to customers and purpose can and will deliver more impact.

@LCYarlington @BecciYarlington Back in a previous life in ad-land, ‘scoring’ the big Xmas retail TV ads was an annual office game...I like the Argos ad this year (though mainly as it uses Sinple Minds)

[Andy Skarzynski @AMSkarzynski]

@johngaryorr @radiangroup @yarlingtonhg It was really enjoyable to get out and meet our colleagues, hear their questions and set out our shared ambitions for the new organisation. #strongertogether
