George Clarke

Widely recognised from his television work, George has built a reputation for communicating complex architectural and design ideas in an accessible and relatable way. Passionate about the impact that good design can have on people’s lives, he believes architecture, creativity and innovation should be available to everyone, not just the few.

His campaigning programmes include The Empty Homes Scandal, which campaigned to bring empty homes back into use and The Great British Council House Scandal, which continues today for Britain to abolish the devastating ‘Right to Buy’ policy and replace all the social housing stock successive governments have sold off since the 1980’s

Throughout his career, George has worked across new build projects, historic restorations and property transformations, championing craftsmanship, sustainability, collaboration and the importance of creating spaces that improve the way people live. He regularly highlights the value of teamwork across disciplines, recognising the role architects, engineers, designers, manufacturers, craftspeople and property professionals all play in successful projects.

As an event host and moderator, George brings professionalism, humour and genuine industry credibility to live events. He is particularly well suited to construction, housing, property, architecture, engineering, manufacturing and design-focused conferences and exhibitions, where his knowledge, curiosity and conversational interviewing style help audiences feel engaged and informed.

As a keynote speaker, George shares insights on creativity, design thinking, housing, placemaking, sustainability, innovation and the future of the built environment. His talks combine practical industry understanding with an optimistic and human approach to how thoughtful design can transform communities, businesses and everyday life.

George is ambassador for the Princes’s Foundation, the homeless charity Shelter, he is a trustee of the Foundation of Light in Sunderland, he is patron of The Civic Trust Awards and the arts charity Artichoke.
