At this EG Cities Live panel discussion held in Manchester earlier this month, EG deputy editor Tim Burke and guests discuss the post-pandemic workforce and what it’s taught real estate about the outlook for offices.
More than two years on from the first work-from-home order of the Covid-19 pandemic, business leaders are still grappling with changes to working practices and what they mean for office occupancy. Despite the best efforts of many businesses to encourage workers away from Zoom screens and back into the office, our speakers acknowledged that, across industries, the challenge is stark.
Joining the panel are:
Kirsty Black, partner, Shoosmiths
James Evans, national head of office agency, Savills
Caleb Parker, founder, Bold
Simon Bedford, partner, real assets advisory, Deloitte
Dan Hyde, development director, MEPC
