Manchester March 2026 Meeting 

Changing Lives Through Property  - Danny O'Brien

Danny O’Brien – From Pro Footballer to Purpose-Driven Entrepreneur

Danny O'Brien is a former professional footballer turned dynamic property investor and multi-business owner, whose passion lies in making a real difference where it matters most. Over the past five years, Danny has carved a unique path—starting in buy-to-let (BTL) property investment before strategically pivoting to serviced accommodation. This shift wasn't just about financial returns—it was the beginning of a deeper mission.

Driven by a calling to support vulnerable young people, Danny transitioned into the children's care sector, where he's focused on bridging the gap in crisis care across the UK. His flagship platform, **Placement Findr**, is transforming how children in crisis are placed into safe, high-quality accommodation—bringing innovation and heart to a system in urgent need of both.

Beyond Placement Findr, Danny also leads several businesses within the care and recruitment sectors, including operations in both the UK and US. Each venture is carefully aligned with his core purpose: **to help those who need it most**.

In his presentation, Danny shares an honest and powerful insight into his journey—from the pitch to property, and from profit-driven decisions to purpose-led impact. You’ll learn why he shifted strategies, how he built a scalable model for social good, and why investing in the people who enter your properties can be even more rewarding than the properties themselves—financially and personally.

Danny’s story is more than just business. It’s about creating change, delivering lasting impact, and proving that success and significance can go hand in hand.

James is a chartered surveyor of almost 20 years with 13 of those focusing entirely on property auctions. James is currently running Auction House West Yorkshire and Auction House Manchester with the sole focus of developing the businesses while maintaining the highest possible standards.
