The Treasury Career Corner Purpose-Led Treasury with Martin Watts
Most guests on the Treasury Career Corner podcast are involved in multinational corporations, but this week I interview Martin Watts, Director of Treasury at social housing provider London and Quadrant (L&Q).
Treasury operates differently in every business, but with no private shareholders and all profits being reinvested into the community they serve, L&Q is an entirely different operation to the usual businesses profiled on the podcast.
This was a fascinating look at a unique business model that should be of interest to many treasury professionals.
On the podcast we discussed…
- What Martin’s journey into treasury looked like and the many twists and turns its taken since
- What social housing is and how a social housing provider operates
- Why there is more in common between social and FTSE100 businesses than one might think
- The evolution of treasury in social housing provision
- Where awards have value (and where they’re pointless)
