Having worked in the Construction and Engineering team at BPE, and been a member of the wider sector community within Gloucestershire for many years, I know the opportunities open to these businesses and the challenges they face. In my roles in Constructing Excellence Gloucestershire and G4C I hope to affect positive change and I’m looking forward to the awards ceremony in September and wish my fellow nominees good luck”.
