S2 Ep5: Building Talks... 180 years of history (bonus episode with former editors)

Welcome to a special bonus episode of the Building Talks podcast. As you may know, Building Magazine is 180 years old this year - having launched as “The Builder” back in 1843.  In this special one-off episode, we celebrate by going back to the not-too-distant past with four previous editors of Building Magazine. From the tail-end of Thatcherism, through the Blair years, and right up to Brexit - they were covering the major the stories affecting the construction industry.  We gathered Peter Bill, Adrian Barrick, Denise Chevin and Sarah Richardson in the studio to talk about their personal memories, the big projects, the larger-than- life characters, and the sagas that hit the front pages of Building magazine during their eras.

The Building Talks Net Zero series, brought to you by the team at http://Building.co.uk, will feature influencers and disrupters who are key to finding solutions to the climate emergency. In the year the UK hosts COP26, the biggest ever climate change conference, the construction industry is focused on the carbon agenda like never before. Each of our guests will bring their unique perspective on the challenges ahead, how to tackle them and most importantly how to affect real change. This series will be co-hosted by Building’s editor Chloe McCulloch and Building Design’s assistant editor Elizabeth Hopkirk. As well as in-depth interviews each week, Chloe and Elizabeth will be joined by Simon Wyatt, sustainability partner at Cundall to unpick some net zero jargon and sort the greenwash from tangible action.
