In our Christmas series, Place North West asks Caroline Baker, partner and head of the North at consultancy Cushman & Wakefield, about her youth as a member of the Brownies and why her favourite building is the Guggenheim New York.
Why did you choose a career in property/placemaking?
Seeing the regeneration of Liverpool in the 1980s – especially Albert Dock and the Garden Festival Site – I was inspired to follow a career that sought to improve places.
Who was your mentor and what was the best piece of advice they gave you?
I’ve never had a formal mentor but my first couple of bosses were strong women who inspired me to strive to succeed.
