Martyn Evans - Creative Director, Landsec on the future of MediaCity

Today the Creative Director of Landsec joins us on This Is MediaCity to talk about his vision for the future of “one of the most exciting places in the world.”Landsec took over the campus late last year and they have big plans for what to do next.Martyn has a unique role in the property sector as Landsec’s Creative Director, so we try and find out what that means and how this impacts the way the group works.We also delve a little deeper into what makes him tick, in particular, starting out working alongside visionary Body Shop founder, Anita Roddick and how that has influenced him.This is a rare chance to get behind the scenes of one of the UK’s biggest property groups, to see how they’ve evolved, to think less about bricks and mortar, and more about the hundreds of millions of people who use their buildings every year.“Property developers knowing how to build buildings and then collecting the rents from the people who use them? We went past that, a long time ago, we now need to be companies that understand who those people are and how and why they’re using our buildings. And what they need from us.”All that and much more, including the new MediaCity MD, Alice Webb; Teams meetings; and why now is a good time to talk about Manchester United’s proposed Old Trafford development.#MediaCity #Landsec #Property #Business #AnitaRoddick #BodyShop #Developer #GreaterManchester #ManchesterUnited Hosted on Acast.
