Built by People
BUILT BY PEOPLE is a podcast dedicated to the people who shape the built environment, particularly across the highways, infrastructure, and transportation sectors in the UK.
Our industry delivers the roads, transport networks, and infrastructure that keep the country moving. But behind every project, improvement, and innovation are the people who make it happen. This podcast is about those people, their stories, their journeys, and the lessons they have learned along the way.
