After 20 years working in the financial services sector in the City, Leah has recently given up her City career to become a full-time property investor. Leah’s background in coordinating, organising and structuring projects has helped underpin the Supported Living Gateway business. She is excited to see how the team’s combined and diverse experience will enable The Gateway to help the supported living community.
Lee has had a diverse career, predominantly within financial services, property and more recently within the care sector. Whilst working in the mortgage and property markets he was introduced into care working with a developer refurbishing an existing care home that needed a full renovation. Lee has also worked with a well-established domiciliary care company looking to move into the supported living sector, and he is guiding them through the process, advising on CQC registration, sourcing property through the Gateway and helping them to generally understand the sector.
Because of Lee's experience his role as Relationship Manager is to be the conduit between both the property and care sectors.
