Episode Title: Making Your Mark – Helen Hare on Innovation, Sustainability & the Future of Workspaces

In this episode of Il Salotto Sessions, Sara Seravalli sits down with Helen Hare, Director of Projects at GPE, to explore the evolving role of design, sustainability, and innovation in shaping the built environment.

From her journey at GPE—from project manager to director—to leading some of the UK’s most ambitious real estate projects, Helen shares insights on supporting emerging talent, circular economy initiatives, and GPE’s commitment to ESG. Notably, we discuss their pioneering work on the largest steel reuse scheme in the UK, setting new standards for sustainable construction.

With the BCO Conference heading to Milan, we dive into what makes the city the perfect stage for this year’s theme: Making Your Mark. Milan’s unique blend of heritage and modernity, its rising influence in life sciences and sustainable urban development, and its role in shaping global design trends make it an inspiring backdrop for industry leaders.

The conversation also touches on the future of offices as a tool for talent attraction, the importance of healthy buildings for stronger communities, and how data-driven decisions are shaping customer-centric real estate solutions. Plus, we highlight the Next Gen’s growing involvement in the BCO, ensuring fresh perspectives and innovation in the sector.
