The Purposeful Strategist

Our guest is Gillian Charlesworth, Group Chief Executive Officer of BRE Group, a world leading, multi-disciplinary centre for building science. They provide products, services, standards and qualifications used around the world to bring positive change in the built environment.

Our guest is Peter Burrows, Chief Executive of The Cambridge Building Society. He describes how they have brought to life their purpose of helping people to have a home - beyond providing mortgages. He also discusses how he sees his role as Chief Executive in setting the organisation’s purpose and how that makes him feel.
