This month we are welcoming:
Gordon Reid, Regional Business Development Manager, Kier Group plc
Ed Monaghan, Chief Executive, Mactaggart & Mickel Homes
Kier Group plc is a leading property, residential, construction and services group which invests in, builds and maintains and renews the places where we work, live and play. They operate across a range of sectors including defence, education, housing, industrials, power, transport and utilities.
Gordon will be talking about “Shaping Your World” which is Kier Group’s campaign to attract new talent into the industry. The built environment sector needs 400,000 recruits each year, but drawing new talent into an industry that is still misperceived as ‘muddy’, ‘manual’, ‘male dominated’, ‘poorly paid’ and largely ‘non academic’, is a fundamental challenge.
“Shaping Your World” is a VIBE website (virtual interactive built environment) specifically designed to appeal to older Generation Z (11-15 year olds). The site contains an avatar builder, an interactive built environment with wow facts, a group of animated pride and passion videos and a host of real life careers information from Kier employees, as well as a new careers guide.
Mactaggart & Mickel are an award winning family housebuilder who have been hand-crafting new homes in Scotland for more than ninety years.
Ed will be talking about the Shawfair development, an ambitious new development to the south-east of Edinburgh. The project is a joint venture between Buccleuch Property and Mactaggart & Mickel.
15 minutes from Edinburgh city centre, on an entirely new rail line. Buccleuch and Mactaggart and Mickel are commited to creating a place of high quality and design reflective of the masterplan aspirations. Shawfair will be an entirely new self-sufficient community of 4,000 modern, high quality homes.
Thrive Networking is a unique business to business networking organisation who through structured and facilitated relaxed meetings ensure that our members and guests capitalise their experience and gain valuable introductions and grow their business networks.
