“My 10 years at Hightown have provided me with a wealth of experience and knowledge. From Estates Manager to Estates and Facilities Manager to Head of Asset Management and Sustainability, each role has brought something different. Before working at Hightown, I was an Estates Manager for Islington Council and before that a Police Officer.

For anyone considering a career in Asset Management, I would advise looking at courses on building safety to enhance your skill level and knowledge. It's an ever-changing industry and demand has never been as high as it is now.  

Hightown supported me to complete a BSc in Facilities Management, where I achieved a first class degree! This is a personal career highlight for me. It was tough completing it alongside working full time but worth it in the end!

After 10 years' service I was entitled to an extra week's annual leave this year, which allowed me to go to Australia to visit family. I can also get discounts on eating out, technology and the cinema with my blue light card. I’m waiting on the Bill’s restaurant to open in Milton Keynes and then I’ll be straight there! But for me, one of the biggest perks of working at Hightown is the people I work with. My teams, as well as the wider organisation, make my job enjoyable.”
