Craig McWilliam, chief executive of Grosvenor Britain & Ireland, is a developer who is putting his money where his mouth is and addressing “the crisis of trust” in real estate.
This discussion – and his commitment - couldn’t be more timely: tonight, Grosvenor’s £500m Bermondsey Old Biscuit Factory scheme goes before planners in Southwark and looks set to be refused.
Listen in to hear McWilliam talks about the inherent difficulty in delivering the scheme, what Grosvenor will do differently in future and why public sector leaders need to step up and explain the benefits of development to communities.
