About
Guy Harris
Guy founded and runs AccessiblePRS. He is committed to seeing a growth of accessible housing, seeing it as absolutely necessary and also a huge opportunity as a chronically undersupplied market area. He has spent over twenty years in property – in sales, asset acquisitions, refurbishment and development, and as a landlord and investor in residential and commercial property in the UK and Germany. Having sustained a spinal injury in 2003, he brings lived experience to his role, providing both commercially driven and insightful perspectives to the challenge of accessibility in housing.
He has designed and built his own accessible and sustainable family home, and lives by the social model of disability: by removing obstacles in the built environment, a person is not limited to or defined by their disability.

Neil Palmer
Neil is an investment partner to AccessiblePRS, as well as a kindred spirit, understanding the relevance and opportunity for accessible housing. His background as an entrepreneur, starting a new letting agency supporting ethically minding landlords, provide a valuable sounding board, as he challenges new ideas to nurture their development.

He is a director of a Anglomile Investments, a property company with a special interest in supported living models.
