Lee Day is the Managing Director of Area Europe, a design and build company delivering workplace projects across the continent as part of the Fourfront Group.

A designer by trade, Lee’s career began in the furniture world before expanding into workplace consultancy and, ultimately, design and build. What’s never changed is his passion for the creative side of the industry the way exposed M&E services can transform a space, or how a team of specialists can come together to produce a true showpiece workplace.

Now leading Area Europe, Lee is spearheading the delivery of projects throughout Europe, while keeping one core principle at the heart of it all: maintaining the feel of a local supply chain, no matter where the project is based.

In this episode, we explore:

• How Lee’s design background shaped his approach to leading a European D&B business • Why creativity and technical detail both matter in building great workplaces • The challenges and opportunities of delivering projects at scale across Europe • How Area Europe balances global reach with a “local partner” feel

Lee brings creativity, perspective, and a clear love for what makes the design and build industry special. This one’s packed with insights into how workplaces are being delivered across Europe, and what it really takes to get it right.
