"For people with a passion for sustainability there's never been a better time to be alive." - Andre Egan. This podcast our guest is Andrew Egan, who, fascinatingly, operates a commercial asset management company that focuses on circularity. Have you ever thought about the lifespan of office furniture? How many chairs, desks, cubicles and kitchens exist in offices worldwide? And, crucially, how many materials were mined, forged and sewn together to make a single chair, only for modern corporate culture to reduce its lifespan to seven years. This enormous and often unseen issue is what Egans Asset Management brings to the forefront, and offers a neat solution for. Listen into the episode to hear about the history and growing need to manage the production and output of corporate spaces.
