Herefordshire and Worcestershire Constructing Excellence (HAWCE) were joined by HCR real estate expert Mark Carter, and Oliver Workman, Partner at THP Surveyors, to discuss the future of the office in a post-Covid world.

Mark presented the findings of our Future Workspaces report, which shows that while people like working from home, they miss the collaborative office environment. Mark also presented data on what business leaders rate as the most important factors when choosing their space; and what office workers value most about their surroundings.

Oliver presented a market update and the audience were polled.

Discussion included:

• What do offices of the future need to look like?
• How can we re-purpose existing buildings – are empty high street shops part of the solution?
• How will the work-from-home revolution affect the construction industry?
• Are UK offices still fit for purpose?
