To round off each issue, we ask our contributing business leaders for their views on the same question: If you could work in another industry, what would it be and why?
Jitesh Patel, CEO, Peldon Rose
“If I was to pick one, it would probably be aeronautics. Why would I pick aeronautics? Because the challenges are huge. First of all, how do you make a plane fly? This was something that, years ago, no one could ever imagine, but now it happens every day and just look at the transformation in the world.
“When we talk about making everybody’s lives better, that’s what I love about what we do at Peldon Rose. We make everybody’s lives better in the workplace, and look how it’s impacted our leisure time.
“So, I’d choose aeronautics from that perspective because it has a massive impact on people, but it’s also full of challenges – we’ve now got to come up with a plane that’s environmentally friendly, for example. That’s going to be interesting!
“Ultimately, I’d pick an industry with challenges. That is what I love about ours, which has its own challenges – how do we unlock real estate in Central London? How do we make people’s lives better?”
