Delivering Social Value through Partnership

Recently Osborne played host to guest speakers and colleagues at The Housing Forum’s Innovation Workshop.

The workshop – Delivering Social Value through Partnership –  was introduced by Michael Cleaver, Director of the Housing Forum.  It  brought together a strong set of speakers all of whom are passionate about social value.  These included Clarion Futures, Newman Francis, HACT, Optivo and Osborne.

Caroline Compton- James, Director of Strategy and Communication for the Osborne Construction Business,  said :
“We were delighted to host this Innovation Forum.  During the morning we explored how we define and deliver Social Value, recognising that measuring social value makes the implicit, explicit. It was a very engaging session.  I was struck by the passion and commitment shown by our speakers. For those of us in the audience, we learnt a little bit more about how social value can contribute to the communities we work in.”

The Housing Forum  is a cross-sector membership network that represents the entire housing supply chain on behalf of the housing industry. Their primary purpose is to encourage collaborative solutions to increase supply and maintain existing housing with the emphasis on partnership working, design and environmental quality.
