Urban spaceman becomes landlord

Tom Bloxham is certainly an inspirational character. I went to a talk he was doing at URBED in Manchester in the early 90's.

Tom starting life with a market stall in Manchester selling vintage stuff to the 'youuf' market. He rapidly worked out that it made more sense to be the landlord rather than a tenant. This started him on his journey of property development and urban regeneration.

It seems that the 'down turn' has forced another evolution in his business. His business Urban Splash has become a very significant residential landlord as they have struggled to sell many of their urban apartments.

Where next for the Urban Spaceman?
