In this episode we are joined by Jane Sartin, the Executive Director of The UK Flexible Space association. Jane describes what the association does for its members and the wider Flexible space industry including representing us at Parliament.  We talk about how the association has evolved over recent years to represent a broader base of operators, landlords and suppliers to the industry.

In this episode, I delve into a topic that several of our consultancy clients have been grappling with recently,“why are my contractors and other members of my power team not performing?”. Why are they not getting back to me? Why are they unaware of the information you shared with me during our previous conversation? Why don’t they understand layout design quite as much as I thought they did?  Or why are they suddenly so flipping expensive?  I discuss why it's crucial to acknowledge that the team which played a pivotal role in your current success may not be the same team that can facilitate your future growth. And of course that, each market has its own requirement for a unique set of skills and standards.   JOIN THE NETWORK If you want to learn more about investing in Commercial Property why not consider joining the CPI Network?

Alison Wood of the Edinburgh Climate Institute joins us from Edinburgh University to discuss the implications of ESG (Environmental Social and Governance) demands from future commercial customers and society at large. We get to the core of the challenge, at least as far as we could with some political uncertainties and technological advances still to be sorted out. Having said that the direction of travel has been set  it is up to us to identify the opportunities and navigate the additional responsibilities that are being placed on all of us     ESG is going to be the single biggest thing to impact the Commercial Property industry over the next 20 years. This interview will give you a sound base of understanding about what is happening around ESG.
