Aetta Architects, PC’s Post

Thanks Simon Keegan and everyone who attended the round table on Tuesday with Wirral Chamber of Commerce Paula Basnett John Spofforth Gordon Andrews, Business Cash-Flow Finance Specialist Dean Paton Stephen Parry to name a few. This is the reason why Birkenhead has the capacity to reinvent itself and City Status would really help. 10 things Birkenhead was first with over the years. 1.     Public Park: Birkenhead Park, designed by Sir Joseph Paxton and opened in 1847, is considered the first publicly funded civic park in the world. Its design influenced the development of Central Park in New York City. 2.     Street Tramway: The Birkenhead tramways system, established in 1860, was the first street tramway in Europe. It pioneered the use of street-level tracks, setting a precedent for urban public transport. 3.     Municipal Water Supply System: Birkenhead was one of the first towns to introduce a municipal piped water supply system, providing clean water to its residents before many other places. 4.     Public Baths: Birkenhead opened one of the first public bathhouses, offering both swimming and bathing facilities to the public, improving hygiene and public health in the mid-19th century. 5.     Town Planning: The layout and planning of Birkenhead were innovative for their time, featuring broad street layouts and significant public amenities, influencing later urban planning. 6.     Mechanized Dock Dredging: The Birkenhead Docks were among the first to use mechanized systems for dock dredging and maintenance, improving efficiency in port operations. 7.     Use of Hydraulic Machinery: Birkenhead was pioneering in the use of hydraulic machinery for dock gates and bridges, advancing the technology used in maritime infrastructure. 8.     Public Funding of Culture: The Birkenhead Literary and Scientific Institution, established in the 1830s, was one of the first publicly funded cultural institutions, promoting education and learning in the community. 9.     Railway Innovations: The railway connections developed in Birkenhead included some of the earliest innovations in rail technology and management, improving transportation and commerce. 10.  Shipbuilding Techniques: The shipyards in Birkenhead were among the first to employ advanced shipbuilding techniques, including iron ships and technically advanced steamships.

First: Congratulations to all of these new partners. Next: We must all do better as a profession to insist on change. I’ll be very clear about this before getting into it: This is not a problem that only exists at this law firm. It’s far more common than it should be in 2024. There is at least one other larger law firm out there that has had a partnership class comprised of all men (or almost all men) and primarily white lawyers in the last year, as well as many others in recent years. This law firm just happens to have the most recent post. Take a look at the composition of this partnership class: 11/12 are men. All of the individuals appear to be white or white-passing (and yes, I will admit and acknowledge that it’s not always clear just from a photo, and there could be more to the story on this point). What’s more abysmal than the fact that many law firms keep advancing partnership classes that are essentially homogeneous? The fact that they’ve all been promising for years that they’re “creating change” and “moving the dial.”

Alexis McSween drew attention to the power of strong relationships at the recent Diversity in Commercial Real Estate conference. In the competitive construction and development space, making connections and receiving referrals can often be the key to success. This was certainly the case for me when I was chosen for the Victoria Theater project. Having strong connections in the industry allowed me to hear about the RFP opportunity and receive valuable insights and advice on approaching it. These connections were instrumental in helping me navigate through the process and understand what exactly the Victoria Theater was looking for. Building crucial connections and nurturing relationships should be our ongoing priority. By actively networking and seeking referrals, you increase your chances of being introduced to exciting opportunities. Remember, it's not just what you know or how talented you are; it's also about who knows you and is willing to vouch for your capabilities. Tip: Barbecuing chicken is easy, but only some have a secret sauce. It's crucial to discover and perfect your secret sauce! #relationships #connections #uniquesellingproposition #networking #construction #development #referrals #DCRE #industrypartners #circleofinfluence #mbe #wmbe #mwbe #certificationmatters Panelists: Jerrod Delaine, CEO, Legacy Real Estate Development LLC Thomas Campbell, Founding Member, Thorobird Companies Lins Agokeng, MBA Candidate, University of Virginia Darden School of Business
