New Londoner, Tony Pidgley, Chairman of Berkeley Group commented: “I am very humbled and honoured to receive this magnificent award. Our biggest challenge in London is undoubtedly housing. There’s never one answer. Politicians, planners, and housebuilders must work together in a spirit
additionality and affordability which London desperately needs, and which I know the new Mayor supports” He added “I passionately believe that homebuilding can be a force for good and make
society a better place. There’s a lot for our city and industry to celebrate and be proud of. Now we must find a way of providing everybody with an affordable home and creating wonderful and interesting places, while generating jobs and growth.”
