David Cryer, Head of Retail Operations, Shelter

“White Space’s home city, Oxford, has a major housing and homelessness problem. This is true throughout the UK. Helping Shelter develop and launch a commercially successful new format is therefore something we’re extremely proud of. It was a real privilege working with David and his team. It was great to see the new format launch and then receive a full roll out. I’m looking forward to seeing how it evolves and grows into the future”
