“Leaders Group provides a very appropriate setting for an interesting discussion on the current issues faced within our industry. It offers a great chance to share insights and experiences as well as ask questions of other business leaders which is incredible informative and useful for shaping our own business thoughts.” – Stuart Pratt, Development Director at Godwin Developments

“The Built Environment Leaders Group is a great opportunity to meet with a range of senior decision makers across the development and related fields. The scope of the membership, the seniority of the participants and the convivial format of the meetings lends itself to fascinating, wide ranging discussions. Its very rare to come away from a meeting without new learnings and contacts” – Tim Morris, Chief Executive at UK Major Ports Group

“I have found the opportunity to meet and engage with chief executive and similar level of professionals working across the built environment to be invaluable. Not only has it given me unique insights into different, but related, sectors, the real attraction for me is being able to have that senior engagement in an informal and private setting, outside of a formal meeting for example. One of the strengths of convening a diverse set of leaders, in addition to the helpful roundtable presentations, comes from the spin-off conversations and collaborations that are enabled by the network.” – Victoria Hills, Chief Executive at RTPI (Royal Town Planning Institute)

“Leaders Group is very well organised and extremely interesting – it’s a well-balanced evening combining stimulating talks and lively conversation with well managed discussion. It forms a great opportunity to hear from and meet with others in similar roles to understand and share challenges and opportunities, and the fabulous event surroundings of Spencer House and first class food and drink.” – Jonnie Allen, Senior Partner at Cundall

“Built Environment Leaders Group offers a tight forum of top executives to network with, and enjoy a very relaxed and cordial evening. Top economic and procurement ‘free and easy’ debates and Q&A followed by informal and very informative speakers means the value of this Group is priceless.” – Lance Taylor, CEO of Gallagher Group

“We joined Leaders Group to help influence some of the issues of the day in our industry – and we have since sat at the table with Government Ministers, heads of estates and many other influential leaders from public and private sector organisations. This platform is much more than a network event, it is an influential movement that gives attendees a unique opportunity to contribute to issues facing the industry and at the same time provides company directors with an opportunity to promote their business or services to a select and influential audience.” – Mark Hobson, Chief Executive Officer at Maber Architects

“I have really appreciated taking part in the Built Environment Networking Leaders Group. It is a very open and welcoming forum, the discussions are lively, relevant and interesting and the guest speakers are always of the highest quality.” – Michael Barker, Partner at Stephen George + Partners LLP
