Together, they share an in-depth conversation about Kevin’s inspiring journey from a successful corporate career to building a Community Interest Company (CIC) that’s revolutionising property factoring in Scotland. Kevin opens up about his decision to leave a well-established career and embrace entrepreneurship in a notoriously unloved industry.

Kevin’s role as an advisor to the Scottish Government during the creation of the Property Factors Act 2011 and his input in shaping the industry’s code of conduct. The challenges of serving an entire community versus individual homeowners, and how clear communication and transparency are key.
