Gleeds is delighted to announce that our Director of Marketing and Communications, Alex Aldous, has been recognised as one of Building Magazine’s prestigious 40 Under 40 for 2025. This annual list celebrates the brightest and best rising stars in the construction industry, spotlighting individuals who are shaping the future of the built environment.
Since joining Gleeds, Alex has led the transformation of our global brand and communications strategy, championing purposeful storytelling and driving positive change across the business.
