As part of Build UK’s Open Doors campaign, veteran developer Rogers will be talking about how he started out in construction and why in his mid-70s he’s still at it
Peter Rogers, the developer behind high-profile London towers such as the recently completed 22 Bishopsgate, has had a passion for buildings since he was a boy, so who better to talk to the next generation about why a career in construction can be so rewarding?
Building’s editor Chloe McCulloch will be talking to Rogers, one half of the developer Lipton Rogers, in a live webinar as part of Open Doors initiative promoting careers in construction.
The webinar, on Tuesday 5 October at 4:30pm, is free and you can register now. It will include a Q&A session for aspiring construction professionals to put their questions to Rogers.
Building is proud to be the media partner of Open Doors this year, a series of events run by the industry, for the industry, with over 1,000 sites across the UK taking people behind the hoardings since 2016.
