At UPco, we’re not finished with International Women’s Day quite yet! Still in celebration mode, we sat down with one of our own stars, Anna Kennedy, who has just been accepted into the PCA’s 500 Women in Property program. Read the blog to find out why Anna was keen to do the program, which women she especially admires, and which subject she would definitely NOT choose for her expert round on Hard Quiz.

At UPco, we’re passionate about the built environment, and we love seeing beautiful architecture come to life. We all have our favourite buildings – and in this column, we speak to our team members and collaborators about theirs. This month, architect Ana Sá (Associate Principal and Lifestyle Leader at Woods Bagot) has chosen the Therme Vals in Switzerland.

At UPco, we’re fortunate to work with a host of talented people, many of whom happen to be women. In honour of International Women’s Day (IWD) happening on 8th March 2023, we wanted to celebrate some of these brilliant individuals. One of IWD’s missions is to elevate and advance gender parity in technology, and celebrate the women forging innovation. So, we sat down to chat to someone who is doing just that: Leonie Dixon, the General Manager of Ark Resources, a leading Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) consultancy.

At UPco, our team is passionate about the built environment, and we love seeing beautiful architecture come to life. We all have our favourite buildings – and this month, we asked Senior Planner Nicky Casey to share the story of one that’s special to him. Nicky hails from Ireland, so it’s no surprise he’s chosen a building from Dublin: the former Presbyterian church, Vhi House.
