Nottinghamshire County Council has become one of the sector’s standout examples of what a modern, strategic corporate landlord approach can achieve. In this episode, Matt Masters sits down with Wayne Bexton, Director of Economy, Environment and Assets, to unpack how Nottinghamshire has reshaped its estate, accelerated disposals, unlocked capital receipts, and used regeneration as a lever for long‑term place impact.
Wayne shares the thinking behind their model, the practical steps that made the biggest difference, and the cultural and organisational shifts required to make it stick. From governance to data, from political alignment to community outcomes, this conversation offers a grounded, honest look at what it really takes to deliver a corporate landlord approach that works.
Perfect for Directors of Place, Heads of Property, Section 151 Officers, and anyone navigating the complexity of estate transformation in local government.
