Ms. With an extensive career in the construction and built environment sector, with particular interest in sustainability, Ms Ceeney is recognised as a national sustainability expert and technical consultant in the sustainable built environment and corporate sustainability arenas and has experience at UK Board and global management levels.

BSRIA is a great organisation and has an amazing depth of expertise and knowledge. It has a critical role to play in supporting and enabling the industry to deliver the buildings and the building performance that investors, occupiers and society need.

It’s an exciting time, with opportunities for the construction industry to lead the agendas around wellbeing, liveable and smart places in which buildings and the design of the built environment play such a critical part. I am looking forward to working with BSRIA and the industry to make the most of these opportunities.”
