SHARING STRATEGIC BEST PRACTICE IN ASSET MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE
The Strategic Assets & Repairs Forum provides a space for Directors to discuss common issues and share good practice
Time and time again colleagues across the sector tell us they wanted a space to have more frank and honest discussions, to share experiences. Sector specific conferences tend to only cover the highlights, the success stories. This is a forum where open conversation is encouraged, a group where information is shared. Following extensive feedback from Asset and R&M Directors, we developed the Strategic R&M Forum to create a strong peer learning network.
Our members include Directors from some of the UK’s leading Housing Associations. The membership has grown organically, and the topics are member driven, shaped around the changing needs of the group. Regularly, members with a particular interest in a topic or relevant experience lead a session, or specify speakers to invite along.
