The Future of the Built Environment We are thrilled to see the news that 20 house builders have signed up for the Homes for Nature commitment. This initiative is set to drive sustainability and innovation in the industry. We look forward to its positive impact, helping to build a greener, more sustainable future. Starting in September 2024, the Homes for Nature commitment will see bird-nesting bricks, hedgehog highways, and other wildlife-friendly features integrated into new homes. With 20 builders, covering 90,000 homes annually, already on board, this initiative aims to support swifts and other species by providing over 300,000 nesting sites. Developed by the industry-led On-Site Nature Measures Working Group and backed by the Future Homes Hub, this move complements the Biodiversity Net Gain regulations, creating thriving habitats within urban developments. At Gough Marketing, we applaud this significant step towards sustainability and look forward to its positive impact on the built environment. ** Link to article in comments **

Last week, our dynamic PR and Social duo Nikki Gooch and Amandeep Singh Rai had an incredible day at the all-new and exciting KETTLER (G.B.) LIMITED showroom for an All in Agency meeting! 🎉 They explored the latest 2025 lines and it was great to spend creative time with KETTLER (G.B.) LIMITED and Brave Agency. Exciting things ahead!

Yesterday two of our team Abi Fairholm (Marketing Manager) and Richard Harris (Property Communications Director) went to TheBusinessDesk.com Property Lunch, hosted at Fazeley Studios in Digbeth. It was great to hear about the BBC's plans to revitalise the area and establish a media hub for the West Midlands. The new BBC home will be their most sustainable building yet, setting a benchmark for other media providers. The BBC, represented yesterday by Hayley Valentine, is clearly dedicated to strengthening media connections in the Midlands, exciting times. Thank you also to Stoford Developments Ltd and Gerard Ludlow for their insightful contributions to the exciting development of the old Typhoo Tea Factory. We can't wait to watch all the progress over the next few years. Our team met some great people, so a shout-out to them, including Nadia Hanoush, Steve Dyson and Andrew Green. Always great to get our team out and about building relationships. Thank you to all who welcomed us and had a chat with us. A great event and we look forward to seeing you at the next one.

Check out these fantastic industry book recommendations from the team at Gough! Here at Gough, we pride ourselves on a culture of continuous learning. Our office library, inspired by our resident bookworm Bruce Hutton, is a testament to this. Bruce is always encouraging us to explore new ideas and perspectives. To keep that spirit of curiosity alive, we’re excited to share a few of our top reads and hopefully spark your interest too. We’d love to hear about the books you’re reading and the key insights you’ve gained. Our library is always looking for great additions! Richard Harris, our Property Communications Director, recommends "Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us" by Daniel Pink. Richard says, "A fantastic book about changing perceptions of what motivates a workforce and individuals." Our Strategy Director, Bruce Hutton, has been diving into "Never Split the Difference" by Chris Voss. Bruce's key takeaway: compromise can leave both parties unhappy! What have you been reading? Share your top picks and insights with us!

Last week we celebrated helping our new client Trenport secure outline planning consent for a challenging retail-led, mixed-use scheme in Derbyshire, following a full public consultation late last year.   This was community and stakeholder engagement in full flow, right up until the decision, with a fantastic all-round team effort.   Congratulations on a job well done, all:   Client: Eilish Smeaton Sean Molyneux Planning consultants: WSP in the UK Architect: Hadfield Cawkwell Davidson Ltd Transport: SLR Consulting Urban Design: LDA Design Ecology: Bioscan UK Ltd Comms/Engagement: Gough Marketing
