Steve Harriott Chief Executive of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme
Brian was a key member of my Executive team; customer focused, leading by example, not afraid to roll his sleeves up, a great networker and somebody you want with you when the going get’s tough! One of housing’s stars!
Richard Purchase Director at Purchase Enterprises
I worked with Brian closely over a number of years. I was able to witness first hand his keen strategic mind, incisive decision making with a friendly and engaging personality. He was well respected by colleagues, non-executives, stakeholders and partners. A knowledgeable and rounded housing professional he knows how to get to the heart of a problem and solve it!

Brian has an excellent reputation, is confident, self aware and very passionate about what he does and what he stands for. Brian is hugely positive, honest, and straightforward and has the uncanny ability to ensure a ‘win win’ no matter how difficult the issue.

Owen Ingram Interim Chief Executive
Brian has a whole range of skills that he uses at appropriate times. He is an excellent manager of staff and I saw him managing his staff teams during considerable time of change and job losses. Brian is equally good at managing different groups of service users and tenants. Brian has also a good command of policy and practice, which enables him to manage well and ensure good service.
