Episode 1 - Preston Benson, Really Local Group

Welcome to The LOWE Down – the podcast from The LOWE Group, which talks about Property with a Purpose. The LOWE Group is a property services group who are passionate about innovative and creative solutions to managing vacant space, delivering social impact wherever possible. This podcast speaks to people within the industry who inspire us and the work we do. In this first episode, we have a fantastic guest, Preston Benson, Founder of the Really Local Group. The Really Local Group looks to deliver “true regeneration”. It is the visionary team behind Catford’s new three-screen cinema, live music venue, food court and community space. This ambitious project is the ‘revival’ of Catford Mews; a former retail space which closed down in 2011. Now eight years later, Catford Mews is reopening as a cultural hub for the community.
