Mike Roberts is a chartered surveyor with over 20 years' experience in the UK property sector.

For most of his career Mike was with Colliers CRE and its predecessor businesses Gooch Webster and Gooch and Wagstaff, during which time Mike had a number of roles including Head of Office Agency and Development, Managing Partner/Managing Director and Head of Strategic Consulting. Mike therefore has a wide ranging understanding of the property sector.

A rather worrying teenage propensity for bird watching was an early indication of Mike's passion for the environment. This has been complemented over the years by an increasing understanding of the importance of place and the burning need for great design within our built environment.

In the last few years Mike has had the opportunity of focussing on the development markets and has been inspired by the challenges of sustainability. The rapid move of green issues from Arran cardigans to designer chic has been mirrored by the move from niche to main stream.

At Colliers CRE Mike established the Sustainability Action Team and raised the profile of sustainable issues across the business. In summer 2007 Mike established Vertigo Sustainable Development Consultants to concentrate on the delivery of true exemplar schemes and to demonstrate that property businesses can be truly ethical.

Mike remains as a Consultant to Colliers CRE on sustainability issues, is a Nonexecutive Director at Lime Technology Limited and a Project Director for Kevin McCloud's Hab Housing.
