Charity partner
Championing a diverse and more modern built environment has always been a focus for Place North. That’s why we partner with Regeneration Brainery to accelerate change to make our industry more representative of the world in which it operates.
Regeneration Brainery is a not-for-profit organisation that addresses the skills gap and the need for diversity in the property industry by working with young people from under-represented backgrounds to encourage them to pursue careers in the built environment.
