Today we are delighted to welcome the 2026/27 Futures Network cohort, supported by Trowers & Hamlins, as they begin their leadership development journey with The Housing Forum.
Each year, the Futures Network brings together a select group of emerging professionals from across the housing and construction sector, creating opportunities to develop leadership skills, expand networks, collaborate across disciplines, and explore the industry’s biggest challenges. The programme is designed to support the next generation of talent and strengthen collaboration across the housing supply chain.
The Futures Network embodies The Housing Forum’s core purpose of bringing the housing and construction sectors together, creating meaningful connections across organisations and disciplines, and supporting the development of future leaders who will help shape the homes and communities of tomorrow.
This year’s cohort was selected through a highly competitive application process, with an exceptional standard of nominations received from member organisations across the sector. We would like to congratulate everyone who secured a place and thank all those who applied for their enthusiasm and commitment to the future of our industry.
We are also pleased to announce the appointment of Marcus Yeomans as Chair of the Futures Network 2026/27, alongside Stephen Medhurst as Deputy Chair. We look forward to their leadership and support as the cohort embarks on the year ahead.
To learn more about the programme and what participants can expect over the coming year, read the 2026/27 Futures Network Prospectus.
We look forward to seeing the ideas, insight and collaboration this talented group will bring to the sector over the next 12 months.
