In each episode of Desert Island Risks, we talk to industry leaders in the real assets space to hear about the risks and rewards behind their success. Whether setting up their own business, taking a chance on the market or backing people over numbers, we explore the lessons learned throughout our guest's careers. Unlike our namesake, we don't play any music to accompany each interview, instead sharing sound clips from friends, colleagues and confidants of our speakers who were impacted along the way.

In our sixth episode, Emily meets Helen Gordon, CEO of Grainger, the largest, listed residential landlord in the UK. No stranger to adversity, Helen has navigated some of the toughest crises to hit the real estate industry to date, including running RBS’ Global Asset Management team in the wake of the global financial crisis and managing the sale of Railtrack’s real estate assets following the collapse and government takeover of the British Railway system in 2001. Helen shares her views on the best way to tackle trying situations, how to maximise and cultivate skills within a team and, infamous for her excellent sense of humour, how to stay positive in a crisis. A strong advocate for equal opportunities and diversity, Helen also gives her insight on how to encourage a more inclusive industry where those from all backgrounds are given the training and confidence to grow. We additionally hear from family, friends and colleagues of Helen who have watched her challenge the status-quo and rise to the many challenges throughout her career.
