Don Ward, Chief Executive, and David Whysall, co-chair of g4c, are amongst the Constructing Excellence people making input to this major government review, ensuring that the findings of the Wolstenholme report, Never waste a good crisis, are fully taken into account.

There are five workstreams on the IGT, all of which are now up and running:
