It will allow young people to get onto the housing ladder more easily through group mortgages.
Rohin has long been passionate about education and spent eight years as a governor of MidKent College, a further education provider based in the Maidstone and Medway areas. He supported mainly on-board strategy, understanding the students and their holistic needs and all things digital.
Rohin has an MA in Economics from King's College, Cambridge and an MBA from INSEAD where he was lucky enough to study in both France and Singapore.
