Look Ahead Expands use of Asprey Suite

After the successful launch of Asprey Assets—a comprehensive operational asset management and planned works management solution—in October 2024, Look Ahead has now expanded its use of the Asprey Suite by acquiring AspireBI from Asprey. This strategic addition will enhance their asset management capabilities, empowering data-driven decision-making to better manage and maximise the long-term value of Look Ahead's property portfolio.

Currently being implemented, AspireBI aims to streamline strategic asset management and provide deeper insights into future opportunities, enabling Look Ahead to better align their assets with their organisational goals.

Founded in 1973 with the mission to provide affordable, high-quality accommodation to individuals on low incomes, Look Ahead has supported people for nearly 50 years. Today, the organisation employs over 1,000 staff and supports more than 6,500 customers annually. Specialising in mental health, learning disabilities, and youth services, Look Ahead delivers high-quality care, support, and housing throughout London and the Southeast.

Zahra Rankin, Head of Property Transformation and Change Management at Look Ahead said “the support provided by James and the team to get our Aspire BI module implemented has been exceptional, always available with a helping hand. Aspire BI itself, has already changed the way we think about our property portfolio.”

James Whelan, Asprey Director, said, “We are thrilled to see Look Ahead expand its use of the Asprey Suite, and we’re confident that AspireBI will provide invaluable insights to support their strategic goals. Our partnership reflects our commitment to helping organisations like Look Ahead optimise their asset management practices, driving greater impact for the people they serve. We look forward to the continued success of this collaboration.”
