Working in affordable housing is incredibly rewarding for me, knowing that every deal secured, and connection made, is helping solve the issue that is impacting so many. 

“Efficiency North has an amazing reputation in the North, especially in Yorkshire, and I look forward to maintaining and growing its work in the sector and ultimately making a tangible difference within local communities through EN:Able Build.”
