Opening Keynote: Property for National Renewal — The Overarching Strategy for Transformation

The government estate is not simply a cost to be managed. It is an asset to be leveraged - a genuine engine for prosperity, a tool for national renewal, and an enabler of every priority this Government is pursuing. In this keynote, Mark Chivers will outline the holistic vision central to our work: how a smaller, better, and greener estate can support the Plan for Change; how property decisions in every region can kickstart economic growth and break down barriers to opportunity; and what discipline, collaboration, and commercial rigour it will take to deliver an estate that truly serves the British public.
