Chairman's Podcast | Mark Wakeford with Ruth Griffin and Jessica Tresham (Partners at Gowling)
Construction is a complex world, where every project is a prototype and the supply chain booked to deliver it is both long and often untested. Any wonder then that the contracts that specify our work, anywhere within the supply chain are both long and relatively complex. These contracts are the preserve of lawyers who can help us set up a project, interpret the language that describes our agreements and occasionally help enforce them. Unfortunately, our industry has a love / hate relationship with the legal profession, yet they form an important part of our supply chain and corporate protection. Ruth Griffin and Jessica Tresham, both Partners at top law firm Gowling, talk to Mark on how t...

The construction industry employs over 2M people in the UK. It needs to recruit upwards of 100,000 people every year to replace leavers and fill new roles to meet the demands that are being placed upon the sector. Many of these recruits will start their careers within construction and those of us within the sector have a duty to encourage new starts to join and to then manage them effectively s...

Construction is the UK’s largest single industry and one that is endlessly changing and variable. There are generally plenty of issues to keep us busy and focused on the known unknowns. However, it is worthwhile taking a step back every so often to see us how others see us, to determine whether we might operate in a different way, with different priorities. Mark talks to three professionals fro...

Construction is the only industrial sector that describes its main companies as “contractors”, highlighting the importance of the contract between two parties. This designation forgoes the value that our industry creates, focusing on the small print as our raison d’être. Couple this with a highly fragmented industry with low margin and we perhaps should not be surprised that many of our commerc...

Construction is the largest industry in the UK and therefore an important industry for Government to understand and nurture. Government is also the sector’s largest customer and so one that the industry needs to respect as client and rule setter. Our industry often feels that government does not understand us, or that it fails to set the right environment for the industry to thrive. Government ...

Those who work in construction are immensely proud of the value that we deliver to society with both our finished goods, and also through the act of construction. Now labelled “Social Value”, it is a requirement of procurement that construction activities demonstrate this value in a recordable and recognisable manner. Mark chats to Sue Woollett, a Social Value Manager and chair of the influenti...

The construction industry attracts a broad range of individuals to work within its broad church. We have a higher concentration of neurally diverse people within our ranks and yet we still struggle to attract and retain women. Both these groups of people can provide diversity of thought and organisational resilience, which is crucial when businesses are faced with significant headwinds and they...

Large, and often international clients, who are competing on an international stage are now looking to see ho...
