Today I’m joined by Nicki Duckworth, who is head of operations at Entitledto, which is the leading benefits calculator for Housing Associations and more. In this episode I’m speaking to Nicki about the benefits calculator, how it can be used in local authorities and housing associations to support residents.

Disclaimer - I do currently work with Entitltedto a few days a week in helping their Housing Association clients.

Today I’m joined by Colin Sales, the CEO of 3C Consultants, who are the leading technology and data consultancy for housing in the UK. In this episode we’re talking all about data. Now you might think data is boring, but the way you interact with your data is fundamental to the success of your projects. However, if you don’t manage your data in the best way possible, this can lead to a myriad of problems. I was captivated by Colin’s approach to data and I’m sure you will too.
