In this episode of Infrastructure Insights, we sit down with Paul Harrison (Defence Market Leader for UK & Europe at Mott MacDonald) to discuss his journey from musician and Royal Air Force officer to a leader in the infrastructure sector.
Paul shares his insights on how global politics is shifting defence infrastructure spending, the importance of collaboration in delivering projects more efficiently, and what the future holds for defence and critical infrastructure. He also reflects on his own career transition, the challenges of leaving the military, and the lessons he learned about networking and adapting to new environments.
Beyond his professional life, Paul talks about his love for mountain biking, golf, and fishing—activities that help him disconnect from the pressures of work. This conversation is filled with insights, personal stories, and a forward-looking perspective on the industry.
