Charlie Fitzgibbon is the founder and managing director of building contractor and property development company Edinburgh Construction. He founded the company aged 26 after more than a decade working in the construction industry, having left school at 15. This period included many contracts with construction company Turner & Townsend, where Charlie served as a project management consultant, travelling the world working on large-scale building projects in varied terrain and climates from New Zealand to Sri Lanka. He later launched Edinburgh Construction, quickly building a team of considerable experience. Today, the company has a multi-million pound turnover, and an aim to IPO within the next 10 years. Charlie sees one of his biggest achievements as guiding his company through the difficulties of Covid and high inflation, which smashed the construction industry, causing significant recruitment and supply chain issues. He is a highly regarded industry voice on construction issues facing the UK today, including the complexities of planning regulations, the drive for sustainability in construction, the housing shortage, the changing rental market, and the responsibilities of builders over cladding.
