BSA 2022 Update: Competence in the Built Environment

The Competency Conversation: Watch the Recording

 
On July 24th 2025, Ark Workplace Risk convened a landmark industry event — BSA 2022 Update: Competence in the Built Environment — bringing together over 600 leaders and professionals across the property, housing, insurance, legal, and safety sectors.

Hosted at the historic RSA House, the day featured powerful keynotes and panel debates from industry pioneers including:

• Dame Judith Hackitt – Author, Building a Safer Future
• David Hills – Senior Director, Ark Workplace Risk
• Peter Clark – Managing Director, Ark Workplace Risk
• Andrew Bulmer (CEO at TPI), Brendan Geraghty (CEO at ARL), Anthony Taylor (Chairman of the Building Safety Alliance), Paddy Synnott (Account Exec at Miller Insurance Services LLP) and others…

Key Themes

• Moving from tick-box compliance to a culture of competence
• The impact of evolving requirements on insurance and risk management
• Evidencing competence in complex, multi-stakeholder environments
• Embedding leadership accountability under the Building Safety Act

 
This was more than a discussion — it was a collective call to action. As Dame Judith Hackitt urged:

“Make an honest assessment of your organisation’s competence, start filling the gaps — and do the same for your supply chain.”
