About this Podcast:

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. Created by DFL and inspired by an idea from the LaMP Academy team, BUILT BY PEOPLE was launched to shine a light on the real voices within the built environment. The engineers, project managers, leaders, innovators, and emerging talent who are helping design, build, and maintain the infrastructure that supports our communities and economy. Each episode features open and honest conversations with individuals from across the built environment and transportation sector. Guest
