About this listen

Kate Rhatigan, with her brother and sister, runs Winterbrook, a home builder based in Dublin.

In our chat, Kate describes the contribution small builders like Winterbrook make to the supply of housing, describes what it is like working in a male dominated industry and tells a quite incredible story about why her face was on posters around south Dublin (hint: it was to do with planning).

More than anything, the discussion highlights the importance of small, family run construction businesses. They make up more than 60% of the housing market and are therefore a vital part of the solution to the housing supply problem.
