EP 375 - The conversation ranged far and wide with Alex Depledge, CEO of Resi and newly coined “Tech- Sis”. It took in her frustrations that no-one wants to have a long term conversation, how the short term news cycle is killing politics and why increasing polarisation is killing informed debate and damaging society.She came out to bat for the Labour government in general - we should give them time - and Rachel Reeves in particular for her willingness to stand behind a decision, even if it is unpopular. She did not come out to bat for bats, people who play the victim and using regulatory sledgehammers to crack walnuts. If you like your opinions strong and your laughter infectious, listen in.FACT CORRECTION - Alex stated that the UK Electric Grid energy wastage is at 40% which may have been true at the time of recording. Most recent figures show that it is nearer 10%.*For Apple Podcast chapters, access them from the menu in the bottom right corner of your player*Spotify Video Chapters:00:00 BWB with Alex Depledge MBE03:29 Alex's Current Role and Responsibilities04:54 Challenges in the Housing Sector05:57 Energy Efficiency and Renovation06:49 Fragmented Construction Industry16:11 Government Policies and Long-term Solutions19:21 Labour Party's Approach to Business and Economy27:57 *Andy's Key Takeaways* 30:34 Regulations and the Role of Bats34:20 The Impact of Private School Attacks34:51 Understanding the Worker's Rights Bill35:13 Probation Periods in Employment37:11 Planning and Business Efficiency38:29 The Housing Crisis and Council Incentives39:22 Environmental Regulations and Development40:16 The Importance of Company Policies44:12 Diversity of Thought vs. Quotas48:49 *Andy's Key Takeaways*52:31 The Immigration Debate54:14 Challenges of Modern Employment58:27 Quickfire - Get To Know Alex01:05:03 Wrap Upbusinesswithoutbullshit.meWatch and subscribe to us on YouTubeFollow us:InstagramTikTokLinkedinTwitterFacebookIf you'd like to be on the show, get in contact - [email protected] is powered by Oury Clark
