The Westminster Property Association鈥檚 (WPA) NextGen programme has adapted its spotlight event series in light of the current situation.
G&T was proud to become programme champion of the WPA NextGen initiative at the start of this year with a new Spotlight event series launched in January at the first event 鈥榠n conversation with Olivia Harris, Chief Executive of Dolphin Living and Paul Williams, Chief Executive of Derwent London鈥� hosted by the NextGen. The Chair and Vice Chair of the NextGen committee, James Burrage from Great Portland Estates and Amanda Sheppard of Grosvenor, picked the brains of these senior leaders on advice from their career journeys and past experiences that helped pave the way to their current roles and leadership positions within the industry.
During lockdown, with physical events no longer able to take place, the WPA NextGen has taken to Zoom and the Spotlight series has continued virtually over the last few months. Events have included a roundtable on 鈥楾he Future of Working in Westminster鈥� hosted by members of the WPA NextGen Committee and attended by G&T鈥檚 Kimberley Matthews alongside representatives from CBRE, British Land, Grosvenor and The Crown Estate and a discussion on what 鈥楪ood Growth鈥� will mean within the built environment planned for the near future.
Members of the NextGen committee also hosted a virtual Q&A with a few of the WPA senior board, picking their brains on Central London鈥檚 response to the pandemic and asking key questions on the future adaptions that might need to be made in the capital to accommodate the quickly changing landscape.
