CBI turns to “future leaders” to reform construction

Business body the CBI has set up a group of young construction professionals to come up with ideas about reforming the industry.

The group will provide a “view from within the industry” to feed into existing reform initiatives.

Members represent all sides of construction from designers to subcontractors and will report to the CBI’s Construction Council of 35 chief executives in November.

The CBI said: “While government has a role to play in helping to ensure the industry is ready to make the most of these opportunities, we know that most of the innovative thinking as to how we can meet these challenges will come from the expertise within construction firms.”

The Future Leaders’ Group consists of 18 “rising stars” under the age of 35.

The Future Leaders are:

Matthew James Sharpe	Aggregate Industries
Michael Spurry	Balfour Beatty
Isla Hill	BAM Nuttall
Graham Kelly	BIM Academy
David Hollywood	Carillion
Andrew Cope	Henry Boot
Eleanor Kentish	Kier Group
Christopher Hughes	Morgan Sindall
Oliver Hawes	Mott MacDonald
Chris Bennett	Murphy & Sons
Lee Trabis	NG Bailey
Danielle Griffiths	Pinsent Masons
Craig Badger	Rider Levett Bucknall
Steve Ford	Ryder Architecture
Daniel Harris	Saint Gobain
Katie Fowler	SIG plc
Rhys Thomas	United Living
Chris Wright	Wates
