About us

Twenty-Eight 28 Property Group

The journey of Twenty-Eight 28 Property Group is deeply personal. It began during the toughest chapter of our lives – when our son underwent two brain surgeries by the time he was just 18 months old, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. During those harrowing days, The Sick Children’s Trust became our lifeline, providing us with a "home from home" so we could remain close to our son when he needed us most.

That experience changed everything. It taught us the true meaning of support, community, and resilience. It also sparked a dream – to build something that could not only create a better future for our family but also give back to the charities and communities that uplift others during their darkest times.

This dream was rooted in the skills and values I’ve built over my life. With a background in carpentry, I’ve always been passionate about transforming spaces into something better. Combined with years of experience in the corporate world, I’ve developed the project management, leadership, and communication skills needed to run a property business with professionalism and care. Property investment allows me to bring these two worlds together – using my practical knowledge to create quality homes and my corporate expertise to deliver seamless, hands-free solutions for clients.

That vision became Twenty-Eight 28 Property Group, a business built on trust, empathy, and gratitude. Our mission is to create wealth with impact, providing financial freedom for our clients while improving lives and housing standards across Sunderland and the North East.

Our Story

Born and raised in Sunderland, Josh faced challenges early on. He saw first hand the struggles that shaped his determination to create a better future.

His first taste of business came in secondary school, where he sold snacks to classmates, hinting at the entrepreneurial spirit that would guide him later.

Josh pursued a carpentry apprenticeship, enjoying hands-on work and even becoming an Advanced PADI scuba diver, always up for an adventure. But when the global financial crisis hit, Josh found himself out of work. Instead of giving up, he joined the Prince’s Trust program, sharpening his business skills and setting the stage for his future success.

Get To Know Josh

Integrity has always been central to Josh’s journey. After a brief stint in sales, where he walked away from a company over unethical practices, he joined the energy sector at corporate blue chip business. There, he quickly rose through the ranks, managing significant projects and leading a large team. However, the corporate world wasn’t his final destination.

When redundancy came after 12 years, Josh saw it as an opportunity rather than a setback. While supporting his family through tough times, Josh stayed resilient. He took on personal challenges like the Great North Run and cycling the coast-to-coast, raising funds for charity along the way.

With a passion for construction and property, Josh furthered his education, becoming CPD certified in the property industry. Seeing and knowing the potential in Sunderland’s revitalisation, he launched his own property business. His early experiences, challenges, and leadership skills from the corporate world all played a part in his success.

Today, Josh’s property ventures are thriving, but his journey is about more than financial success. It’s a story of grit, integrity, and determination. With plans to give back to the Sunderland and the wider North East communities, Josh’s journey continues, inspiring others to overcome challenges and forge their own path.

His proven track record of success and diverse skillset make him an invaluable asset for any property investment journey. With over a decade of management experience across various sectors, he brings a wealth of knowledge and a strategic mindset to the table.

Working with Josh means having confidence in the end result and goals. He brings years of knowledge and experience. A proven track record, a leadership style of collaboration and togetherness. His expertise in strategy, risk and credit management as well as being a qualified carpenter make him unique across the property industry.

  • Leadership and People Management: Building high-performing teams is second nature to Josh. He embodies collaboration, empowers individuals, and inspires them to achieve their full potential, creating a dynamic results-oriented environment driven by his personal and business values.
