About this listen

 In the very first episode, Vince Simpson, founder of Spark London, sits down with Steve Berridge, Director of Fidgens, host of the London Construction and Offices Podcast and founder of BidSense to explore what it really takes to challenge convention in the real estate and construction industry. Steve shares his journey from Davis Langdon and Core 5 to joining the family business at Fidgens and the lessons learned along the way. Together, Vince and Steve discuss: Why strategy, not assumption, drives project success The difference between large corporates and director-led consultancies How empathy and early thinking can transform delivery outcomes Why many firms promote too quickly and the risk of missing "reps" and real experience How BidSense is changing the way tenders are scored, making procurement fairer, faster and more transparent Why time and due diligence are the foundations of every successful project Steve's entrepreneurial mindset, from selling fake IDs at school to launching tech products for the industry, gives a refreshingly honest take on what it means to stay curious, break patterns and keep the "buzz" alive.
