Latest News Wed, Sep 23, 2026 5:40 AM

UK Construction Week Birmingham (UKCW) has launched Press RESET, a new series of insightful podcasts featuring thought leaders from the industry, for a deep dive into the sector’s key issues – and how to resolve them.

Hosted by Martin Hurn, UKCW Birmingham Editorial Director, Press RESET will release two podcasts every week in the lead-up to the three-day event itself, which runs at the NEC from September 29th to October 1st.

All the guests on Press RESET will also be speaking at UKCW Birmingham itself; the first four podcasts are now available to watch:

  • Matt Mahony, Policy and Public Affairs Manager, Construction Industry Council (CIC)
  • Rashida Rajgotwala, Co-Chair of the National Association of Women in Construction for the Midlands
  • Jade Lewis, Chief Executive, Jade Advocacy
  • Meghan Davies, Co-Founder, Cammina

Martin Hurn, UKCW Birmingham Editorial Director, said: “Press RESET is about creating the conversations our industry needs right now. Construction is facing significant challenges, but there are also huge opportunities to do things differently.

“By bringing together people with fresh perspectives and practical experience, we want to look beyond the problems, challenge established thinking and explore what real solutions could look like. These are conversations designed not just to inform, but to inspire action.”

Sponsored by Barbour ABI, Wyre, HotelPlanner, Zutec and Build Warranty and SolarEdge, UKCW Birmingham will feature over 200 leading brands; 200 speakers and over 150 hours of CPD accredited seminars across four stages, alongside a series of built-for-purpose sections. Architect, TV presenter and UKCW ambassador, George Clarke will officially open the show and also host discussions on the Construction Reset Stage on Day One (September 29th).
