Emily Wilde, Marketing and Events Coordinator

I joined ARK at the end of 2022, initially working in an administrative role with a focus on marketing. Since then, my role has evolved in line with my career aspirations, and I now focus solely on marketing.

ARK has been incredibly supportive of my growth, even funding a digital apprenticeship to help further my career. I’m grateful to be part of a company that invests in both my personal and professional development.

Pete Evans, Marketing Manager

I joined ARK in 2024 as a Marketing Manager. This is my first job in the housing sector, and I have learnt a lot from my  colleagues about how important our work is in helping our clients to provide better housing for their residents.

I am given freedom to be creative and use my skills to showcase what we do. Colleagues are supportive, encouraging, and hard work is rewarded. I recommend anybody take the opportunity to grow in their career at ARK.

Seth Wheeler - Senior Data Analyst

I joined ARK in 2022 as a Data Analyst, working on a range of projects including ARK’s Strategic Asset Performance and benchmarking models — at times in collaboration, and at others leading.

Working with clients and colleagues has continually expanded my understanding of the sector and refined my analytical approach. ARK has supported my growth through hands-on experience and mentoring.

In 2024, I was promoted to Senior Data Analyst as the Data Team expanded. Today, we’re focused on advancing ARK’s data capabilities and driving new insights to support our clients.
