Robin has a Masters in Land Economy from Cambridge University and is a Chartered Surveyor. Raised on a farm in Yorkshire and educated in Cumbria he has expertise in property development, public sector grants and funding, development feasibility, business planning and social inclusion.

Robin was a key advisor on the Borough Market providing advice on pubic sector grants and business planning and raising £2.8m of Development Agency funding to support the refurbishment works. Robin was then involved in the construction management of the works on site and the development of a range of social and economic initiatives linked to the main refurbishment works.
