Event Information: 

This session will look at Central Government as a client – and the collaborative ways of working with the private sector.

Is the UK’s Government a good client? Do they attract the best that the private sector has to offer and engender a working relationship that benefits all parties? Are we making the most of the Government’s property portfolio and could we do more? In an open and honest webinar we have invited experts from both sides to share their thoughts on what is working well and what needs to change.
