Podcast – 2020: Don’t Look Back in Anger
2020 has been a challenging year for people and businesses across the country.
Within St. Modwen, we’ve adapted to overcome the many hurdles that we faced. In fact, this year has taught us a thing or two about how to do things differently. It’s taught us how collaborate with our colleagues remotely; how to better understand and engage with our communities; how to lease industrial and logistics space quickly when it’s in high demand; how to inspire the next generation online; and how to sell homes virtually. So, in fact, there’s plenty to take away from these experiences.
That’s why we’ve spoken to colleagues across the business to reflect on the year and shine a light on the great things that we’ve learned in our limited podcast series, 2020: Don’t Look Back in Anger.
