Empowering partnerships with our More Than a Building Ambassadors
We’re delighted to announce our new Ambassadors for More Than a Building; eight leading professionals in the construction sector appointed to help us expand, shape, and oversee the More Than a Building network at Article 25.
With a breadth of experience across the industry, our Ambassadors bring significant expertise from a range of disciplines and will play a pivotal role in growing our More Than a Building network.
Article 25 Chief Executive, Gemma Holding, said:
“We launched More Than a Building less than a year ago and the response has already been fantastic – with many of the biggest and best firms in construction joining the network. I know with the help of our fantastic Ambassadors, we can continue to grow this important and prestigious network.”
