James Scott is the Co Founder and COO of Stories, a purpose-led property development company that partners with landowners to deliver long-term social, economic and environmental outcomes. James' role is focused on product, strategy and marketing alongside the operational side of the business.

​He is an Alumni of Trinity College, Cambridge where he read mechanical engineering and he is a member of the UKGBC's Social Value task force.

I sat down with James to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:

·   How he got into real estate

·   The high’s, lows, and lessons learned along the way

·   The biggest challenge right now

·   Stories Business model: Principal Developer, Development Manager, Strategic Advisory

·   What is true alignment with capital partners, developer, and asset owner

·   Creating a financially sustainable and viable business

·   Maximizing economic, social, and environmental impact for all stakeholders

·   Measuring success through the triple bottom line: economic, social, and environmental impact

·   Advice for those earlier in their journey

·   The future of Stories and what’s next

Oh and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place James would invest should he have £500m of capital at his disposal.
