Speakers

Anna Hollyman is Co-Head of Policy & Places at the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) alongside her colleague Jo Wheeler. Their remit covers National and Local Policy, as well as place-based approaches that support our transition towards a sustainable built environment, in particular the retrofit of our homes and communities. Through UKGBC's Regenerative Places Programme, they are exploring how retrofit can act as a catalyst to unlock wider benefits to communities, and how we can shift our approach to place-based development, towards embedding more 'regenerative' outcomes.
Anna also led UKGBC's work on Commercial Retrofit, publishing a report on the cost and carbon impact on Retrofitting Offices.
Anna has a foundation of over 20 years’ experience as an architect in the UK and internationally (China and Dubai), leading the design and delivery of diverse projects from biophilic interiors, to public sector projects, and high-density commercial developments.
