The second award featured in our series about the Empty Homes Awards 2014 presented at our Conference in Birmingham in May is that for Most Innovative Intervention. This award was newly introduced last year by sponsor Carson Millican, trading as Empty Property Solutions Ltd (contactable by email). Carson, who's a long-standing member of the EHN Executive and whose expertise has been bought in by a number of London boroughs over the years, was keen for the Empty Homes Network to promote innovation and saw sponsoring this award as the best way to do so.
