Rodger studied a General Practice Surveying degree in Newcastle in the mid-80s and

qualified as a Chartered Surveyor just over 30 years ago. He started his career working for

English Estates (now Homes England), Greggs the bakers and Vaux Group where he was

involved in property management, acquisitions and sales across the whole of the North for

all types of commercial property. This was followed by six years as a property consultant

where he established and grew a new leisure department for Storey Sons and Parker.

Rodger then secured a role as Property Management Director for Able UK where he was

responsible for the development and management of a large property portfolio including a

series of complex planning applications and the internationally renowned Ghost Ships

applications.

Rodger then joined the senior management team of a leading Housing Association where,

over a period of eleven years he managed the £60million a year new build development

acquisitions and sales activity of the group as well as the commercial property portfolio.

During this period Rodger was instrumental in the delivery of around 3,000 new homes and

attracted over £100million of government subsidy for the schemes. This included four award

winning schemes including two that were delivered through the recession; A £24million, 198

unit development within a stone’s throw of the city walls in central York which was

acknowledged as an exemplar mixed tenure scheme and 106 “Eco-homes” in Darlington

which won a National Award. Rodger was also instrumental in a National Housing Award

winning Scheme for vulnerable clients and creating a joint venture with a national contractor

to deliver housing for sale alongside older persons homes in Sunderland.

Following a short period running his own consultancy business Rodger was sourced by High

Street Residential in May 2018 as a Development Manager to deliver a pipeline which

currently sits in excess of £1bn. With over 30 years within the property industry, Rodger’s

wide-ranging experience and detailed knowledge of the delivery of new build housing for rent

will be valuable to the continuing growth and success of the Company.
