The intelligence I’d want if I were running your commercial function.

Every weekday at 9.30am. Five minutes to read.


Who Writes It

I've spent thirty years in UK construction, fifteen of them as a Commercial Director at Tier 1 contractors. Each issue picks one piece of the mechanics and puts a figure in pounds on it, usually a notice regime or a clause nobody opens until the money's gone.

It's written for the people who sit on the board of a main contractor or subcontractor turning over £5m to £50m.

What arrives.

• The Daily Brief, every weekday at 9.30am.

  The Commercial Lens on Sunday evenings, a four-minute read on the week's market figures and regulation with my view on what they mean for your jobs.

What doesn’t.

• Automated follow-ups or sales emails. If I want to speak to you, I'll write to you myself.

How you'll know inside a fortnight.

If ten issues haven't changed how you're handling something live on your desk, unsubscribe. There's a link at the foot of every issue and I don't look at who uses it. If something does land on something live, reply to it. The replies come straight to me.
