In episode 90 of Lets Talk, host Gillian Semmler speaks with Daryl McIntosh, CEO of Share, to hear about the organisation’s future plans for the housing sector and shaping the future of Scotland’s property management and tenant support.
A significant topic in the discussion is Share’s strategic move into the private rented sector (PRS). Daryl shares the reasoning behind this expansion and its importance in today’s housing landscape. With this venture, Share aims to enhance landlord reputations and address emerging challenges in the rental market.
Thanks to recent funding from the Safe Deposits Charitable Trust, Share has launched a new learning portal specifically for PRS tenants. Daryl explains the portal’s purpose and its range of resources designed to help tenants.
Another highlight of the conversation is Share’s new mentoring program aimed at advancing the Scottish housing industry. Daryl discusses how this program will support executives and senior managers, address sector-specific challenges, and contribute to solving the current housing emergency in Scotland.
The Scottish Factoring Network
Gillian also asks Daryl about Share’s partnership with the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA) and the Glasgow and West of Scotland Forum of Housing Associations (GWSF) to create the Scottish Factoring Network. This network offers valuable support and resources for staff working with factored owners, furthering Share’s commitment to improving housing management.
Lastly, Daryl touches on the impact of the Young Housing Professionals’ Network, which recently held a forum in Glasgow. The network aims to nurture emerging talent in the housing sector, with a focus on addressing key challenges identified by young professionals.
Whether you’re a housing professional, tenant, or simply interested in the future of property management, tune in to this episode to gain a deeper understanding of Share’s innovative approaches and the ways they are driving positive change in the housing sector.
