Background

About Ben Brunt-So

I didn’t start my career in a boardroom—I started on the frontline. With over two decades in policing, I led emergency response operations, managed high-pressure incidents, and drove strategic transformation in one of the UK’s most complex public services. But what truly shaped me wasn’t just the intensity of the work—it was the impact data and performance insight could have when lives, outcomes, and public trust were at stake. That belief carried me from operational crisis management to organisational strategic leadership. Now, as Head of Performance and Value for Money at ForHousing, I bring that same urgency and clarity to housing and public services—turning complexity into actionable insight, outdated systems into streamlined processes, and data into data-driven decision making that delivers better results for people and communities. If you’re working in a mission-driven organisation that wants to turn performance into purpose, let’s connect. I’m always open to sharing ideas, collaborating, and learning from others driving real change.
