If an organisation doesn’t have climate change at the top of the agenda at the moment then questions need to be raised. Now I’m sure you can quote some organisations where rightly it shouldn’t be top of the list but the general point is most should. Investors want net-zero commitments AND actions. The regulators areContinue reading “It’s time climate change actions occurred!”

Are we building the right types of homes?
There is a debate that rumbles. Apartments or houses? Is it a personal choice or one put upon us. There has been substantial investment by institutions into apartments but houses still dominate our residential needs. Over 75% of the UK population live in a house. A national survey highlighted that over 90% wanted to liveContinue reading “Are we building the right types of homes?”
Just what the doctor ordered!
Just what the doctor ordered! It hit me in mid-March 2022. I had burnt out. The last two years of work and well life has been a drain. The adjustment to a new-normal and a continuing change of how things are has meant that I have worn myself thin. Thin like butter on a granaryContinue reading “Just what the doctor ordered!”
We need to look after ourselves
So I have not been able to write recently – life has gotten very busy. A combination of family and work related challenges has meant that I needed to focus elsewhere and to unwind I have been trying to spend more time outside enjoying the natural world. Particularly as the evenings have become lighter IContinue reading “We need to look after ourselves”
Our health deserves better
Following my last blog: Built Environment & Our Health I have continued to explore the linkage between health and the built environment. Our health can be split into mental and physical health. Mental health refers to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional well-being. It is all about how people think, feel, and behave. Physical health is theContinue reading “Our health deserves better”

The built environment and our health
The built environment is a key impactor on our lives. It can either support or harm our physical & mental health, our wellbeing and overall quality of life. Our homes where we live, our workplaces (which could be our home, office or another location), our leisure space and our learning space. They all cross overContinue reading “The built environment and our health”
2021 – a year of reading
Many will know that I love a good book. I consume a lot of books across a year, usually one a week. Largely thrillers but then also books around the built environment and leadership. In fact I love nonfiction books as much as fiction. It’s just that sometimes fiction allows you to get lost inContinue reading “2021 – a year of reading”
2021; I mean, you certainly delivered something!
It is time to welcome in the new year. 2022, wow! Well I mean 2020 was a rollercoaster and I don’t think 2021 has been any less bumpy. Here’s hoping that 2022 provides some route to less uncertainty and not more knowledge of Greek symbols. I could rant and complain about 2021. Things were cancelled.Continue reading “2021; I mean, you certainly delivered something!”
Accept the world is changing and evolve!
It is coming up to the end of another year. My 38th on this planet – how did that happen! 2020 was a year we all wish to forget but I guess 2021 has been a year of uncertainty too. Mixed messaging and changing rules and let’s not forget the need to “get back toContinue reading “Accept the world is changing and evolve!”
