Our Chief Executive Mark Bourgeois recently sat down with Matthew Watts on the People Property Place Podcast to talk about the Government Property Agency’s mission to deliver a smaller, better, greener government office estate across the UK – and what it takes to lead a 500‑person organisation with a £3bn portfolio and a clear mandate for change.

Mark reflects on how a career forged in the private sector shaped his approach to leadership, resilience and purpose, and why those lessons matter deeply in a public sector context. He also shares his perspective on why every modern leader must personally engage with digital and AI, rather than delegate it.

A thoughtful and engaging discussion on the scale of the opportunity to make a lasting impact through public sector property.
