Recently, the igloo team came together in Oxford for our annual two-day team get-together - to meet face-to-face and see some of igloo’s exciting developments firsthand. 💡 We started with lunch at the Oxford Town Hall, followed by our full team meeting and a fantastic talk from special guest Tom Bridgman, Deputy Chief Executive – Place at Oxford City Council. In the afternoon, we enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour of Christ Church College, where igloo has proudly supported the creation of its Responsible Ownership of Property Policy. Our Development Director, John Long, also plays an integral role within its Challenge Group, helping to shape property operations. We finished the first day at Mowgli with great food, drinks, and plenty of time to catch up with colleagues from across the UK. 🍴 To wrap up we were joined by Peter Madden, advisor on our Footprint Advisory Board, and Chris Brown, our Non-Executive Director, for a tour of our Oakfield development. It was great to see how igloo is making a real difference, with tenants already moved in and benefiting from homes that foster community and wellbeing. What a fantastic few days as a team, connecting and collaborating! 🙌
