Balfour Beatty's Social Impact Manager, Lisa Scargill, has been featured in the Chartered Institute of Builders (CIOB) discussing her recent Hensman Prize win and the connection between her career and commitment to social value. Lisa made history as the first-ever recipient of the prestigious Hensman Prize for her outstanding contributions to grow and strengthen the Cumbrian community.

In her discussion, Lisa Scargill expressed, "Through both the course and my role, I am really connected to what Cumbria is, what it looks like, and what it means to live and work in the area. I have been able to share my journey and make a difference in the local community, which has been recognized through my degree program."
