Industry Collaboration
The Burmor team recently had the privilege of being invited to speak at a Women in Social Housing event alongside Eddie Hughes, MP for Walsall North and previous Minister for Housing. As we are advocates for Modern Methods of Construction and supporting careers for women in the industry, the opportunity was one that we couldn’t miss.
The morning started with an open and insightful discussion on the rewards and challenges within construction, with a specific focus on the social housing sector. We then had the opportunity to talk project specifics; Katie Gilmartin, WISH Board Co-Chair and Head of Business Development and Innovation at Platform, and Luke Boekestyn, Director at Burmor, joined forces to share our collaborative journey and lessons learnt through our ambitious project on Low Road in Kirton. This development is bringing to fruition the first of our homes to meet the predicted Future Homes Standards, and with the event being held at LoCal factory, guests were able to see product and assembly come together.
Thank you to all at WISH, LoCal, and Platform for involving us in such a great event.
