Gavin had a great time at the Scottish Property Awards after SNRC was nominated for Net Zero Project of the Year! Although the team didn’t take an award home, it was amazing to see hard work by the team and Clark Contracts recognised and to see our friends at @carbonfutures and @odonnellbrown_ get a commendation. ⭐

Accelerate to Zero Podcast : Guest Podcast Hosting Built Environment - Smarter Transformation hosts the Accelerate to Zero Podcast, and I’ve loved jumping in as a guest host for a special series featuring interviews from across the BE-ST Fest 2025 programme. The conversations I had are filled with passion, insight, and plenty of laughter along the way — the series continues with episode four where I’m joined by the inspiring startup founder Amandeep Kalra!Amandeep is the co-founder of GreenFlip - a climate tech startup on a mission to make decarbonising investable. There is so much in this conversation and I’m definitely sure I didn’t expect to talk Vinted on a built environment podcast but Amandeep leaves us with some key takeaways : Don’t seek sustainability directly for itself - guaranteed savings first, sustainability as the bonus Finance exists. Fundable projects don’t. Behaviour and data, not policy. Simple tools, simple messaging - “do this, save this much”. Check it out at the link in my bio ⬆️
