Phil Hammond

Phil is a communications and public affairs professional who joined LABC from industry 13 years ago having worked in other regulated industries.  

Working with LABC Chief Executive, Lorna Stimpson, Phil is responsible for implementing LABC’s business strategy, communications and relationships with members, associates, service users and industry partners. Phil drives the delivery of LABC’s public affairs programme, commissioning research and organising campaigns.

Working with other organisations, including the Local Government Association, other regulators (HSE and F&RS), professional institutions and trade bodies, Phil ensures a strong public service case is made, backed by qualitative and quantitative research. 

This has included research on compliance interventions, their social value to society and the public interest in good regulation.  In addition, Phil works with LABC’s executive team preparing policy briefings and consultation responses ensuring the views of public service building control surveyors, together with service users in the building industry, see their needs adequately reflected in policies, regulations and building standards.
