Future 50 – the people influencing the future of construction

Why is George Osborne the most important non-industry person in construction?

With a Conservative government looming in the horizon and Mr Osborne standing at the verge of taking over the treasury, the future of construction will be shaped by his policies and decisions on public spending. That is why our panel of judges has ranked Mr Osborne as No1 on our Future 50 list.

In this exclusive supplement Construction News has assembled a list of 50 of the most important people from outside the industry who will influence the way construction will develop over the coming years. We explain the key influence of each of the listed people, and show you why they've made it onto our list. The decision and actions of these 50 people will directly affect the industry you work in, and keeping a close eye on their careers is vital if you want to succeed in your business.
