Episode 1 - Housing

Monday, September 29, 2025 • Duration 01:11:58

In this roundtable, leaders from across housing, architecture, and MMC share candid perspectives on what really matters: certainty, long-term partnerships, and building homes at the scale people desperately need.

Featuring insights from Edward Joseph (Homes England), Angela Mansell, Paul Ruddick (Reds10), Paul Jones (Rollalong), Lucas Shone (Boutique Modern), and Jimmy Overall.
