For the third episode of Talking Places we focus on our commercial work and our commitment to skills that make up our Places for Growth promise.

We were joined in conversation by Dan Lovatt, Director of Asset Management, our Head of Retail, Samantha Bain-Mollison and Laura Miller, Senior Construction Skills Manager.

This wide-ranging discussion looks at how Places is playing a leading role in enabling growth in London. All the way from supporting the 1,300 plus SMEs across our estate, to how we support people into employment via the Skills Centre. There is also a great debate on the perceived death of retail and insights into how we are applying lifelong lessons to future-proof and reimagine a great estate.
