Join us for this online technical briefing exploring how circular economy principles have being applied at scale during the soft strip-out phase of the former GSK headquarters in Brentford.

Set on the iconic Golden Mile, 980 Great West Road is undergoing a transformative redevelopment led by Hadley Property Group. Sustainability and material reuse were central to the proposals, with the current works providing a live case study in circular demolition, digital audit techniques, and low-carbon construction practice.

This session uncovered the tools, partnerships, and methodologies driving the reuse of high-value components from one of London’s most recognisable office buildings. From early-stage audit and logistics to carbon and cost tracking, gain practical insight into scalable strategies that embed circular economy thinking into every layer of project delivery.
