Hard Hats and Tales Podcast

In this Hard Hat and Tales interview I speak to one of the leading solicitors dealing with building firms in the UK.  Kate Onions is a Partner at Shakespeare Martineau and she works with many of the top house building firms.  

In this podcast she provides some key advice to those working in the sector on how to avoid some potential pitfalls and issues - some COVID related and some that are just industry standards.

In this episode of Hard Hat & Tales I speak to Stuart Wilkes and Annie Clift the directors of Limeslade.

Limeslade offers strategic marketing, social media, business development, or events and hospitality.  They talk about how they reacted to the COVID shut down and how they continue to help their clients to find new markets internationally and also use new methods to sell their solutions.  Some of the "benefits" of COVID have been options opening up to their clients to explore mediums that perhaps wouldn't have been of interest prior to lockdown.

In this episode of Hard Hat & Tales, I chat with Robbie Hubball the Group MD of Blyth Group about the challenges of supporting customers during COVID and the future staffing issues in the building sector.

Robbie has built a portfolio business that covers many areas of construction and FM/Maintenance and he is well placed to see how the current and future challenges and opportunities look for these sectors.

We meet Nigel Huish and discuss the issues that COVID have caused in cities and how they can overcome them going forward.

Nigel is the MD of IDOM Merebrook who specialise in reuse of brownfield sites.  Nigel is part of the team working on the plans for Derby City Centre and in the podcast he talks about some of those plans and how they could be used in other cities

Hard Hat and Tales will speak to Global Leaders in construction about their careers in construction and where they see the future challenges/path of construction in their areas.
