Curo's unnatural concious office enviroment really makes my juices boil

Thats why there is such a high turnover of staff and low morale within its plush £10m headquarters still being paid for out of tenants rent.

Inappropriate use of Curo Housing facilities. ?

Has the Curo Housing Board given its authorisation for "Liza Wooderson Hughes owner of Why Not UK founded in 2009 as an Agency that brings new commercial thinking to business issues." to be using Curo Group HQ to promote her own private business interests which are totally divorced from the real world that tenants live in.

Deeply concerned tenant

Is it right that the not-for-profit Curo Housing is allowing the wife of the Chief Executive of the not-for-profit Selwood Homes use of its HQ to promote her own business interests as a “Certified Emergenetics Associate” at the £550 one day Curo Group Inspire Forum 2015 ?
