Constructions Future Leader's in association with BlackBerry | Friday 28th March 2008FUTURE LEADERS: STEP FORWARD

Judges

Ms Christina Taylor, Editor, QSWeek
Ms Patricia Moore, Director, Turner & Townsend
Mr Ed Badke, Director of the Built Enviornment, RICS

Ed trained originally with an international contractor, and then chose to move into development and to specialise in residential led urban regeneration projects. This broad range of experience, from both a contractor's and developer's perspective, has proven to be invaluable in his current role as RICS Director for Construction and the Built Environment. He is currently working with RICS Members on a number of groundbreaking projects including the RICS Measurement Initiative - a new suite of measurement rules that will facilitate transparent and collaborative working practices across the whole supply chain.
Mr Greg Phillippo, Senior Quantity Surveyor, Rider Levett Bucknall, G4C

Greg has been a QS since graduating 7 ago and is currently enjoying working for Rider Levett Bucknall, but his doctor says this feeling will go away once the tablets start to work.... In life he believes that you have to take your opportunities (especially to enjoy yourself) and be proud of who you are.

Greg joined G4C because he wants to do something positive in the industry and is concerned about the perception of the industry and the consequent effect this has on potential recruits. He wants to ensure that construction is an attractive career, and that the public knows this! He also believes that the newer generation can help change the way this industry is run and wants to be part of this change!
