In a significant move for real estate representation in government, Bridget Wilkins has joined the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities as head of digital citizen engagement in the digital planning team.
Well-known within the real estate tech world following roles at Built-ID, where she was director of community engagement, and CBRE, where she worked across the UK development team and the Asia-Pacific capital markets team, in her new role Wilkins will focus on “bridging the gap” between people and policy.
Her remit will involve forward planning to create more digital opportunities for everyone.
Wilkins said: “It is an exciting time to be working in the sector and I take on this role with the utmost optimism that we can deliver meaningful outcomes across the built environment to improve accessibility, inclusion and diversity through the power of people, policy and tech.”
