Built Environment Leaders Group 30th April 2020 | 15:30 – 22:00 Online Webinar The Built Environment Leaders Group has been created to allow main board members of companies in the built environment sector to meet, talk, learn, develop and influence together. In these current times that is more important than ever. This month, instead of meeting for an exclusive meal and get-together, we’re following advise of Public Health England and Government to postpone all face-to-face meetings. But it’s a crucial time for the industry and that’s why we’re still hosting this event online. One of our aims is to become the foremost thought leadership, influencing and lobbying group representing the built environment in the UK and we’ll be working with our members to develop and achieve further aims. We’re committed to creating a diverse group and to be reflective of the society that we work in. When your main board joins Built Environment Leaders Group we will also provide five complimentary places for your younger leaders to join our new Built Environment Young Leaders Group. We’ll be meeting monthly at London’s most magnificent eighteenth-century aristocratic palace, the prestigious Spencer House in St James’ Place, whilst guest venues throughout the year include the House of Lords in December – hosted by Lord Kerslake. At each of our meetings we have guest speakers including: CEBR, Vicky Pryce, Economic AdvisorWeb Science Trust, Dame Wendy Hall, MDPagabo, Gerard Toplass, Executive ChairmanRSBGi, Rupert Robinson, Managing DirectorCenter for European Reform, Charles Grant, DirectorBritish Antarctic Survey, Simon Garrod, Director of Operations & EngineeringSpace Flight Academy, Angela Richardson, Managing DirectorBank of England, Rob Elder, Bank of EnglandEngland’s Economic Heartland, Martin TugwellDirector, Institute of Business Ethics,Philippa Foster Back CBENetwork Rail, Sir Peter Hendy, ChairIpsos Mori, Ben Page, CEOBritish Land, Roger Madelin, Head of Canada WaterFuturist Speaker, Tom CheesewrightUK2070 Commission House of Lords, Lord KerslakeZaha Hadid Architects, Patrik Schumacher, Principal of ArchitectureScottish Government, Kat Feldinger, Head of InvestmentBritish Ports Association,Richard Ballantyne, CEO And we’ve also invited numerous guest clients such as: Sladen Estates, Rachel Wood, Managing DirectorNottingham City Council, Chris Henning Corporate Director for Development and GrowthNottingham Trent University, Professor Nigel Wright, Deputy Vice-Chancellor – Research and InnovationUK Major Ports Group, Tim Morris, Chief ExecutiveDoncaster Sheffield Airport, Liz Askam, Property ManagerConnect Housing, Helen Lennon, Chief ExecutiveArden Cross Consortium, Ben Cross, Project DirectorCroydon Council, Saheed Ullah, DirectorDepartment for International Trade, Naisha Polaine, Senior AdvisorHilton Hotels, Elliot Newton, Investment ManagerQuintain, Fareen Lalani, Development DirectorRoyal Town Planning Institute, Victoria Hills, Chief ExecutiveTritax Symmetry, Andrew Dickman, DirectorEcoWorld International, Stephen Brett, Land DirectorNewcastle University, Iain Garfield, Director of Estates and FacilitiesNorth West Business Leadership Team, Emma Degg, Chief Executive Membership of the Built Environment Leaders Group is available to companies for only £5,000 plus VAT for a 12 months.
