Housing Industry Leaders welcomes Becky Ricketts, Policy and Research Officer at Care & Repair, to the podcast to discuss the organisation's efforts to ensure that older people in Wales have a safe and comfortable home to live in. We also explore how retrofitting these homes can prime them for the future decarbonisation efforts of generations to come.

Episode 6 - Homes Fit for Older People

Housing Industry Leaders speak to Ian Rippin, CEO of MCS, about the fact that Wales is currently leading the UK in percentage of households with renewable energy installations. We discuss what Wales is doing right, and what the wider UK can learn from their example.

Episode 7 - Wales Lead the Decarbonisation Race

Housing Industry Leaders talk to Hadleigh Hobbs, Managing Director of Wellspring Homes, about the benefits of building homes from hempcrete, and what this will mean for Wales's journey to net zero.
