Black Cat: We get it done!
Andy Clow sits down with Ben Pountney, Associate Director at Black Cat, to explore his career path, his promotion just weeks after joining the business, and the niche project management expertise he brings to large-scale development projects.
Ben shares insights into working on complex regeneration and masterplanning schemes, the differences between corporate and independent consultancy life, and why Black Cat is increasingly well-placed to deliver major projects across the UK and Ireland.
The episode finishes with a forward look to 2026, discussing the realities of planning, regulation and development viability, and where the biggest opportunities lie for clients and consultants alike.
