Grit & Polish – The Summit Special Podcast

New for this year’s Housing Community Summit – we’re bringing the conversations beyond the stage.

Join us for an exclusive Summit Special edition of Grit & Polish, a brand-new podcast hosted by sector heavyweights Amanda Leonard and Alison Inman. Filmed and recorded live at the Housing Community Summit, this podcast dives deeper into the themes and challenges explored in our sessions, offering fresh perspectives and candid reflections from key speakers, sector influencers, and commercial partners.

Expect thought-provoking discussions, behind-the-scenes insights, and a healthy dose of challenge and inspiration – all delivered with the trademark grit and polish that Amanda and Alison bring to the mic.

This podcast is your chance to:

  • Hear more from the voices shaping the sector
  • Catch up on key themes and hot topics
  • Stay connected to the Summit buzz – even after the event ends

This is more than a podcast – it’s a conversation starter, and a glimpse into the energy and ideas driving the housing sector forward.

Day 1 episodes will be available via the event app at the end of day 2.
