Former Army major James Vyvyan-Robinson and his wife Nicola splashed out on a riverside home complete with music room and drawing room – but refugees live in squalid conditions
The boss of a firm which made a fortune housing asylum seekers in “squalid” conditions has a new home himself â a sprawling £1.1 million mansion.
Former Army major James Vyvyan-Robinson, 64, and his wife Nicola splashed out on a riverside home complete with music room and drawing room.
He is managing director of Clearsprings Ready Homes, which raked in £28million of profits last year. It is contracted by the Home Office to run hotels and other accommodation for asylum seekers.
But some sites – such as Napier Barracks in Folkestone, Kent – are dogged by criticism. When Covid struck, residents protested about sharing with those infected.
