Arcelor Mittal

Walter draws down on over 30 years of design experience in the construction sector to lead ArcelorMittal’s Steligence Engineering team in the UK, a business unit that advises and supports clients, architects and engineers to design and deliver buildings with low overall environmental impact using a palette of “best in class products”. Recently Walter has worked with the Institution of Structural Engineers to deepen the industries understanding of the provenance of the steel used in the many and varied steel products used in construction, and how working with and understanding the supply chain can lead to informed decisions and strategies to reduce embodied carbon in buildings.

FOOTPRINT+ is the place to showcase how we can build sustainable developments and reduce the carbon footprint of building projects. In tackling the climate crisis, these are the conversations we need to be having.
Peter Kyle

Despite the global impact of COVID-19 the UK property industry is resilient. FOOTPRINT will provide a forum for everyone to create a deliverable agenda for sustainable growth in the UK property market.
Francis Hilton
Pelican Developments
The construction sector has a huge role to play in enabling Local Authorities to meet ambitious carbon zero targets. I believe that FOOTPRINT will be the event that supports the creative discussions and working relationships required to achieve Zero Carbon living.
Duncan Baker-Brown
Architect, Lecturer at University of Brighton & Campaigner for Circular Economy
At last an event that addresses the key issues facing design, construction and development in the UK. The rich mix of consultants, clients, stakeholders and government together with the great location will make Footprint a huge success.
Paul Monaghan Director of Allford Hall Monaghan Morris Architects
Liverpool City Region Design Champion and founding member of Architects Declare
The idea of the jobs fair on the last day is brilliant. It's exactly what school and university leavers need, and as a CDO, I realise that finding high calibre candidates to work for your organisation is a hugely time absorbing process.
Adam Brockley
Founder of Scape Student Living
As we move to create the ‘new normal’ post Covid, we have an unprecedented opportunity to re-write the rules around our environmental impact on the planet, this conference does exactly that.
Gavin Stewart
Executive Director Brighton & Hove Economic Partnership
FOOTPRINT is a hugely exciting opportunity to address the climate emergency which we all face as global citizens.
James Blakey
Planning Director Moda Living
FOOTPRINT+ has been set up to answer a need in the property market. We have all traipsed off to the South of France previously to meet up and discuss property issues. This is no longer a responsible action given the carbon footprint of getting there. Combined with the exit of Britain from the EU, we, in the UK market need to meet and discuss our national and international concerns. FOOTPRINT+ is set up to permit us to do this in an accessible, affordable and responsible way
William Edgerley
Director Edge Ahead Limited
The climate emergency is the biggest challenge humanity is facing. At WSP we are proud to be the catalysts of change in our industry. Now, we all need to come together to re-invent the way we design, the way we build and the way live. Footprint+ will help us do this
