ºÚ¶´ÉçÇø Awards judge speaks to µþ³Ü¾±±ô»å¾±²Ô²µâ€™s editor Chloe McCulloch

Zoe Price, ISG’s chief operating officer for its UK construction business and ºÚ¶´ÉçÇø Awards judge, has spoken exclusively with µþ³Ü¾±±ô»å¾±²Ô²µâ€™s editor Chloe McCulloch about how this recession is different to any in living memory.

The interview with Price, timed to coincide with the ºÚ¶´ÉçÇø Awards shortlisting day, is the first in a series of video interviews with construction bosses on how they are trying to lead their businesses out of the current crisis. In it she describes the moment in March when the ISG board had to decide to pause all work on construction sites to make sure they could operate safely during the lockdown.
