The Developers Club Podcast | Aaron Emmett (Click Group) on 238 Homes & £74m GDV [Full Episode]

In the first episode of The Developers Club Podcast, host Ben Wilson speaks with Aaron Emmett, Group Managing Director of Click Group, about his journey from an 8-unit conversion to delivering a £74 m GDV, 238-home scheme.

Aaron shares the reality behind scaling in property — from structuring deals and managing investor equity to stepping in as main contractor after a builder collapse. We also explore planning gain, modular and airspace development, wellbeing, and how Aaron now advises Edmond de Rothschild.

In this episode, we cover:
•⁠  ⁠Scaling from 8 to 238 units with £60m in development finance
•⁠  ⁠Navigating risk, cashflow, and a contractor going bust mid-project
•⁠  ⁠Unlocking value through planning gain and deal structure
•⁠  ⁠Modular and airspace development — what works, what doesn’t
•⁠  ⁠Post-Covid challenges, inflation, and shifting buyer sentiment
•⁠  ⁠Mindset, meditation, and resilience as a modern developer
