Awaab Comply, the specialist compliance and property safety platform supporting housing providers in meeting the requirements of Awaab’s Law, has announced the appointment of housing expert Danny Bird as Strategic Advisor and Ambassador.
Danny joins the organisation to help raise awareness of Awaab’s Law across the housing sector, supporting landlords and housing providers as they prepare for the significant changes the legislation will bring. His role will focus on education, engagement and sharing best practice to help organisations strengthen their approach to damp, mould and wider housing hazards.
A highly respected Repairs and Property Safety Consultant, Danny brings extensive experience in social housing leadership, asset management and operational transformation. Throughout his career, he has led large multidisciplinary property and repairs teams, delivered major transformation programmes across national housing associations, and driven improvements in compliance, resident outcomes and service delivery.
Widely recognised as a keynote speaker at major housing conferences and events, Danny is a leading voice on damp and mould management, Awaab’s Law and Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) compliance. He has successfully developed and implemented damp and mould strategies for six major housing providers, helping organisations strengthen compliance while delivering innovative, resident-focused solutions that improve living conditions and rebuild resident trust.
In addition to his consultancy work, Danny delivers specialist training programmes designed to help housing organisations embed the culture, behaviours and operational standards needed to achieve sustainable change.
Simon Redfearn, Owner of Redfearn Experts and Awaab Comply, said:
“Danny is one of the most respected and knowledgeable professionals working in social housing today. His practical experience, strategic insight and genuine passion for improving resident safety make him an invaluable addition to Awaab Comply.
“As the sector prepares for the implementation of Awaab’s Law, there is a clear need for guidance, education and practical support. Danny’s expertise will help us continue our mission of raising awareness, sharing best practice and ensuring housing providers are equipped to meet both their legal obligations and their responsibilities to residents.”
Danny Bird said:
“Awaab’s Law represents a significant and necessary step forward for the housing sector, placing greater emphasis on proactive action, accountability and resident wellbeing. While many organisations are already making positive progress, there remains a need to build understanding around what the legislation means in practice and how providers can respond effectively.
“I’m delighted to be joining Awaab Comply and working alongside Simon and the wider team. Together, we have an opportunity to support housing providers with practical solutions, knowledge sharing and industry collaboration that ultimately leads to safer, healthier homes for residents.”
The appointment reflects Awaab Comply’s ongoing commitment to supporting the housing sector through education, compliance innovation and expert-led guidance as organisations prepare for the introduction and implementation of Awaab’s Law.
