To meet today’s national security challenges, Defence Estates must provide sustainable and affordable buildings and accommodations to support national defence needs while satisfying personnel's needs. While not mutually exclusive, the challenge is brought to bear when considering limited financial resources and efficiency goals. DE&I brings together experts worldwide into one place to discuss these challenges and opportunities. Our chairman, Air Commodore James Savage, former Head of Accommodation in the Defence Infrastructure Organisation, will lead the discussion. In this interview, the Air Commodore will share his views on the state and future of DE&I.
