Phil Laycock, a real estate and infrastructure pioneer, joins me for our first episode of Constructive Conversations.

As we gear up for UKREiiF 2024, Phil illuminates the event's unique focus on inclusivity, sustainability, and the crucial partnership between the government and the private sector. He also shares the significance of networking and the transformative opportunities that attending UKREiiF 2024 can offer.

We explore the multi-layered benefits of events like UKREiiF, from enhanced networking opportunities to addressing industry-wide challenges like planning, social value, and the Building Safety Act's implications. We also underscore the necessity of retaining the wisdom of seasoned professionals to inspire and educate the new wave of industry talent.

In transitioning to recruitment, my mission became connecting talent with opportunity, a bridge built on the foundations of my first-hand experiences and the insights I've gathered from leaders reshaping our skyline.

Constructive Conversations is a place where we have enlightening conversations about jobs, skills, and the passions and processes that define us in the stories of innovation, resilience, and industry.
