Welcome to my blog!
First of all, I would like to use this as an opportunity to say thank you for electing me as President for the coming year. It is a great privilege, which presents some great opportunities, but I?m sure you?ll understand that it is also a daunting prospect and I hope that I can repay the faith that the membership have put in me.
I would also like to use this opportunity to thank last year?s President Paul Diggory, for everything he did for the Institute over the last year. Paul was a fantastic President and will be a tough act to follow. He was of course, the first President to have a blog. The feed back suggests that people found this to be a great way to hear about the President?s work, so this is something that I plan to continue. I would however be pleased to hear what you think and if you have any views on the blog, or on any other issues, feel free to drop me an email at president@cih.org
My theme for the year is "Housing's Heroic People". We quite rightly spend a lot of time talking about things like policy, procedures, education and best practice, but in my experience, the greatest impact is made by fantastic people in the housing world doing extraordinary things to improve people?s lives. I plan to identify, recognise and reward as many of these people as I can, wherever I go in my Presidential year.
My Presidential charity is the Crisis Changing Lives Project, which provides funding to help homeless people into employment. I aim to raise £40,000 in a variety of ways and will provide more details when I launch the appeal next month.
As I am sure you can appreciate, I am really looking forward to the coming year and particularly the opportunity to see at first hand the fantastic work that our members are doing, both here in the UK and across the world.

Hi, I worked last year for a company called Tigra Developments who specialize in property Inspection reports feasibility study reports, maintenance and Property Management etc. they are based in Sheffield, maybe you need to contact them as they are the only Ethnic Minority company that have women in higher management and also employ disabled people they are Chartered Surveyors also, their database confirms more Asians own thier homes especially in the North of England compared with any other community.
My contract was for 6 months but it was fun and enjoyment working with Tigra
The contact person here is Keith Miller keith@tigragroup.co.uk
Good hunting!
