CEO of HUB, Robert Sloss, has been an entrepreneur in property and development for over 25 years. During this time, Robert has created a series of real estate investment and development platforms, primarily in the residential and office sectors. Robert has a passion for vibrant urban living and the need for the built environment to reflect changing human demand. As a result, HUB was one of the first developers to recognise that changing UK work practices would drive the need to repurpose redundant office buildings, for living uses. Robert co-founded HUB in 2012, and over time it has become a leading UK BTR-led residential developer, with more than 9,600 homes completed or under development across the UK. A pioneer of both BTR and co-living in the UK, HUB continues to deliver industry-leading developments, including the award-winning Queen's Quarter in Croydon; One Maidenhead, a major mixed-use regeneration scheme in Maidenhead town centre; and the Yardhouse co-living scheme at Wood Lane. HUB's adaptive reuse strategy, in line with its commitment to urban regeneration and sustainability, continues to bear fruit. As well as Cornerstone in the Barbican, the first co-living planning consent in the City of London, HUB has Assemblies in Minories, which it hopes will be the City's second co-living consent. HUB believes that co-living is particularly well suited to the City, with its long working hours and significant transitory, international workforce. 

There is also mourning for Pope Francis in Australia: As an “inspiration for millions of people” and a “guide of hope,” the head of the Catholic Church is honored in numerous obituaries. The faithful of the St. Christopher community in Sydney also say their goodbyes to 'Pope Franz, 'as he is affectionately known. Pastor Roland Maurer reports on how the community in the Croydon district is reacting to the news of the death of their chief shepherd. - Als „Inspiration für Millionen Menschen“ sowie „Wegweiser der Hoffnung“ wird das Oberhaupt der katholischen Kirche in zahlreichen Nachrufen gewürdigt. Auch die Gläubigen der St. Christophorus Gemeinde in Sydney nehmen Abschied von 'Papst Franz', wie er liebevoll genannt wird. Pfarrer Roland Maurer berichtet, wie die Gemeinde im Stadtteil Croydon auf die Nachricht vom Ableben ihres Oberhirten reagiert.

In this illuminating conversation with crime author Marnie Riches, we dive deep into the unpredictable world of professional writing and publishing. With remarkable candor, Marnie shares the rollercoaster journey that's taken her from writing children's books under a pseudonym to becoming an award-winning crime novelist with 22 publications to her name."Writers are gamblers," Marnie reveals early in our discussion. "Even on days where we don't love writing because it is a grind, there's always the gambler in us thinking next time, next time, the next spin of the wheel." This gambling analogy perfectly captures the persistent hope that keeps authors going through rejection, disappointment, and the countless variables beyond their control.Our conversation takes fascinating turns as we discuss the politics of book covers, the challenges of switching genres, and how class background shapes risk-taking in creative careers and her latest novel, "The Gardeners Club," a cozy crime mystery that represents yet another pivot in her versatile career. The Gardeners ClubGardening is dirty work – but should it be deadly?When Gill Swanley decides to take up gardening to fight a midlife malaise, she never expected it to become quite such a dangerous hobby.Pushing herself to 'get out there', Gill picks herself up the secateurs and joins the Bromley Botanists. Here she finds a seven-strong group whose main agenda is how to win the coveted Golden Trowel for best community club of the year.But when a dead body turns up in the community greenhouse, they suddenly have more serious matters to consider than victory. They must uncover whether their arch-rivals, Croydon, are taking things to another level or whether someone more dangerous is targeting their rag tag group.Can they dig up the truth before someone else is left pushing up the daisies?Follow Marnie RichiesSend us a textSupport the show"Enjoying 'The Conversation'?

For years, Londoners lived in fear of a shadowy predator known as the Croydon Cat Killer. More than 400 cats were found dead—mutilated, decapitated, or dismembered in what appeared to be calculated and sinister ways. Pet owners were terrified. The media ran wild. Scotland Yard launched a full-scale manhunt. But after four years of panic and a $170,000 investigation, authorities came to a shocking conclusion.

There's a mystery of violence swirling in and amongst the kids these days. Especially boys. What could it be? Snapchat? Video games? Andrew Tate? A hit Netflix series points to issues, and policy. But is it pointing in the right direction?  Today we'll look at “Adolescence”: the origin story, the strengths and liabilities of its one-take technique, and its deceptively conservative messaging. Should it be shown in Parliament? Schools? Does it tell us much about the kids it is worried about? Does it offload responsibility for misogyny and violence onto ambient internet chaos, when there are so many other causes closer to home? And why, if it is a meditation on violence committed by boys, do we learn so little about the girls who are harmed?

He discusses their Christmases together and how the family mark Christmas without her.The panel of guests explore the complexities that often come with religious festivals especially those that come with an expectation of jollity.

Be Living Motivation GRIPAZEEM, or simply BLM GRIPAZEEM, is an independent artist hailing from South London. The London Borough of Croydon to be exact. BLM GRIPAZEEM is known for his transatlantic ties from America to Africa. That, and a lifestyle that is often associated with polarised experiences. This is exactly the reason his music presents nuances of street/road aesthetics. Known affectionately as Gripz, his retrospective thoughts are of an innovative style of rap that's both inventive and intellectual. BLM GRIPAZEEM is known for painting pictures with his words. He founded Gripping Records, a Spangled subsidiary, as vehicle to release his debut projects ‘Manifest Destiny'. Manifest Destiny is dubbed the title of his first single and Extended Play (EP). The second is 'Applegarth Academy'

uncey heads to Croydon ahead of this weekend's world title fight at Selhurst Park. He chats to both Chris Billam-Smith and Richard Riakporhe and promoter Ben Shalom. We also hear from Ben Whittaker and Fran Hennessy who feature on the undercard.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the esteemed photographer, filmmaker and director, Sam Taylor-Johnson. Born in Croydon and educated at Goldsmiths, where she was among the stars of the 1990s British art scene Taylor Johnson made her name with her non-narrative films, such as Method in Madness, where a young man appears to be having a nervous breakdown on camera; Hysteria of a young woman miming in hysterical laughter; or Breach of a girl who cries in silence – art that seems to be about our shared internal pain, and the performance we all put on in our everyday lives. In 1997, she won Most Promising Artist at the Venice Biennale, and in 1998 was up for the Turner Prize. Sadly, cancer took over at aged 30, an experience that no doubt shifted the output of work in the early 2000s. Still Life was a film that showed decaying fruit, and others explored the threshold between life and death, fantasy and reality, and what it meant to confront our own mortality. She has especially looked at the real lives of celebrities, from an almost mythic lens, such as her film David, of David Beckham sleeping at the National Portrait Gallery – that I remember seeing aged 10 – and her incredibly moving series of famous male actors crying, from Philip Seymour Hoffman to Robin Williams – that is currently on view at the V&A's Fragile Beauty exhibition, a phrase that so perfectly sums up so much of Taylor Johnson's work, the complexity of performance and artifice, and the glamour and beauty of pop often masked by darkness. Since 2009, she has become one of Britain's foremost movie directors, making her feature debut with Nowhere Boy, a portrait of the early life of John Lennon, and most recently, Back to Black, that zooms in on Amy Winehouse fragile but enormously celebrated life, showing her as the human she was, who loved most in the world people and music… I can't help but see the correlation between Taylor Johnson's fine art work and her movie work: that deep interest in intense stories that appear on the outer side as one, and on the inner as another. She gets to the core of the human condition through her work, and leaves us contemplating our own existence, how we view those whose music, voice and lyrics we know like they're in the DNA of our fingertips, and I really couldn't be more excited to find out more. -- LINKS: Back to Black: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21261712/ Nowhere Boy: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1266029/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_nowhere%2520boy A Million Little Pieces: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427543/ Fragile Beauty at V&A: https://www.vam.ac.uk/exhibitions/fragile-beauty-photographs-from-the-sir-elton-john-and-david-furnish-collection Crying Men series: https://hickeyguy.wordpress.com/2014/09/13/crying-men/ JFK photograph by Gary Winogrand: https://www.moma.org/collection/works/113229 David @ NPG: https://www.npg.org.uk/beyond/exhibitions/partnership/2019/coming-home-david-beckham -- THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.famm.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/famm.mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Nada Smiljanic Music by Ben Wetherfield
