👋 LinkedIn hive mind, help please 🙏 I’ll be interviewing Fergus Harradence at the Constructing Excellence annual conference later this month. Fergus is in charge of construction at the UK Government's Department for Business and Trade. To be useful for the whole built environment community, what should we discuss? Drop a comment with any one of: 🏢 A topic we must explore (e.g., Industrial Strategy, supply‑chain capacity, UK standards & trade, productivity, net zero). 🏢 A question you’d ask to get a straight answer. 🏢 An example (a stat, case study, or lived experience) that shows where policy meets reality. 🏢 A person who should contribute. I’ll weave the best ideas into the conversation and report back. Thanks in advance. Aiming to make this valuable for as many of us as possible 🙌 #CEActionsNotWords #ConstructingExcellence #BuiltEnvironment #Infrastructure #IndustrialStrategy #SupplyChain #Standards #Innovation #Productivity #NetZero #UKConstruction Alison Nicholl Phil Wilbraham Melissa Zanocco OBE Sophie Bloye BRE Alex Small Kaie Small-Warner Hayley Binns Professor David Mosey CBE Lucy Howard James Bromley FRICS Emma Raspin John Fotherby Vince Lydon Aaron Burke Jack Cook Antoinette Campbell Martin Kemp
