For September’s We Make Parliament Happen event, meet some of the people behind the buildings, as colleagues from Strategic Estates share more about their roles and the work that goes on behind the scenes to care for Parliament’s remarkable estate. 

As today’s custodians of Parliament’s buildings they follow in the footsteps of Barry, Pugin and the many people who have overseen the estate over the centuries, bringing together specialist knowledge and expertise to look after the buildings and the people who use them every day.
