Up early and across to King’s Cross, where I met Julie Hirigoyen on the train north to York. She runs the UK Green Building Council, so a great opportunity to catch up – particularly ahead of my GBC ZA Johannesburg trek next week.
We were doing a session with the sustainability team of Sir Robert McAlpine. Their CEO had been meant to be with us in the Royal York Hotel, but the day before the news had broken that he was leaving the company – after just 15 months as McAlpine’s first non-family CEO. Inevitably, some agitation in the Force, but was assured that the next CEO would be selected in part on his/her embrace of the sustainability agenda.
Then back south to Bloomsbury Place and a session with Sam on what’s coming up next. Fairly took my breath away, but some wonderful platforms and opportunities out there …
