The UK development sector faces challenges like never before. To combat climate change and respond to the massive issue of peak oil, we need to change and innovate and not be afraid of challenging the status quo. Business as usual will soon mean no business at all.
These complex issues jostle for attention at a time when housing affordability is at an all-time low-although the recent market correction is having a say in this!
Vertigo exists to help deliver the highest quality of sustainable development now-the art of the possible at a cost that’s palatable.
We seek to bring together like-minded people-land owners with developers, public sector with private, clients with consultants. Only by creating the right teams and partnerships can we deliver what the UK deserves. Read more
Our background
Vertigo was established by Mike Roberts, a chartered surveyor with over 20 years’ experience in the UK property sector.
For most of his career Mike has been with Colliers CRE and its predecessor businesses Gooch Webster and Gooch and Wagstaff, during which time Mike had a number of roles including Head of Office Agency and Development, Managing Partner/Director and Head of Strategic Consulting. Mike therefore has a wide ranging understanding of the property sector.
A rather worrying teenage propensity for bird watching was an early indication of Mike’s passion for the environment. This has been complemented over the years by an increasing understanding of the importance of place and the burning need for great design within our built environment.
In the last few years Mike has had the opportunity of focussing on the development markets and has been inspired by the challenges of sustainability. The rapid move of green issues from Arran cardigans to designer chic has been mirrored by the move from niche to main stream.
At Colliers CRE Mike established the Sustainability Action Team and raised the profile of sustainable issues across the business of sustainable development. Mike also led Colliers on to the UK Green Building Council as founding members and became a Board member of this organisation.
Mike is a Non-executive director at Lime Technology Limited, a board member of the Green Building Council and remains a consultant on sustainability issues to Colliers CRE.
