I’m delighted to announce my appointment as Managing Director of Pocket Living and I’m grateful for the opportunity to lead such great talent. It couldn’t be happening at a more exciting time.

Good article on the housing market and impact of mortage rates on demand - demand not driven by desire but by available credit. https://t.co/qVpMZN3e24

Really interesting market intervention in San Fran to unlock housing delivery. No reason we couldn't explore similar creative ideas to enhance delivery in London. https://t.co/VKXbAJW0Nd #ukhousing

Very proud to be part of the @QualisFlow journey and looking forward to building on the great success to date and making a real impact on the construction industries footprint. Fledgling construction carbon-reduction firm raises £7M from investors https://t.co/GKnQLRBbQl

Good @RelatedArgent panel @UKREiiF with @RestIsPolitics. Highlighted the need and lack of cohesive long term vision on either side.

@yesswc2023 great times and just found out I share a birthday with @realbdw! #StarWarsCelebration2023 #StarWarsCelebration

Fantastic work by the @Pocket_Living team; just executed a new facility with @LloydsBank, with the support of @LDN_gov and Legendre (UK). A £100m facility to help deliver more affordable homes for first time buyers in London. #ukhousing #affordablehousing

[Paul Rickard @pjrickard]

A great year for @Pocket_Living. Almost one funding deal closed per month with our partners including @LloydsBank @Barclays @Octopusre @pluto @HomesEngland @LDN_gov and @housinggrowth. A challenging year but the team rose to that challenge. A huge and exciting year ahead for us.

[Paul Rickard @pjrickard]

It was a great week for @Pocket_Living - two unanimous consents including our 456 home BtR scheme. https://t.co/Q7KA1QHUFg

[Paul Rickard @pjrickard]

Only 5 @Pocket_Living homes left. An amazing chance to get on to the housing ladder at an incredibly low price point. https://t.co/iIztRHoY92

[Paul Rickard @pjrickard]

Very proud to now be Chair of @QualisFlow. A fantastic team making a real difference to the global environmental impact of the construction sector.

[Paul Rickard @pjrickard]

Not new but depressing nonetheless. Flexibility and innovation across the board will be needed to weather this storm. https://t.co/1NchZZUf1J

As of today, @homes4haringey is officially no longer an almo. It's been an honour to support and I hope the residents benefit from the move back in to the council.

[Paul Rickard @pjrickard]

Now wrapped up our 2nd @Pocket_Living
@PlutoFinance deal. A further £19.3m in funding to accelerate delivery of affordable homes. #affordablehomes #ukhousing

[Paul Rickard @pjrickard]

And on top of closing our our latest funding deal, last night also saw approval from Hackney for more @Pocket_Living affordable homes. A great week! #AffordableHousing

[Paul Rickard @pjrickard]

Great panel event this morning with @Deverell_Smith, a good range of views on greenbelt development, affordable housing, sustainability of price house inflation, and more. France can build 400k homes p.a., we can't. Some lessons to be learnt.

[Paul Rickard @pjrickard]

Very happy for our Pocket Living deal with @Barclays and @housinggrowth to have been shortlisted for Deal of the Year at the 2022 @RESIevent awards. Great end to the week. #affordablehousing #housing

[Paul Rickard @pjrickard]

Super proud of the @Pocket_Living team, securing planning committee approval last night for two schemes in the Old Kent Road area. More affordable homes for London! #ukhousing
