Lyndsey West Named Winner of the FOOTPRINT+ Changemaker 2026 Award
KpH Managing Director Lyndsey West has been named winner of the FOOTPRINT+ Changemaker 2026 award, recognising individuals driving extraordinary change across the built environment through climate action, innovation and resilience.
Presented at FOOTPRINT+ 2026, the award celebrates leaders challenging established ways of working and helping shape a more sustainable future for the industry.
Lyndsey was recognised for her advocacy of reuse-first thinking, circular economy principles and challenging traditional approaches to deconstruction, helping push forward conversations around design for demountability and practical sustainability across the built environment.
Through collaboration with clients, manufacturers and supply chain partners, Lyndsey has helped champion practical reuse and recovery initiatives that demonstrate how circular thinking can be embedded into live project delivery.
This includes ongoing work around material recovery, manufacturer collaboration and designing smarter pathways for reuse, helping shift perceptions around what deconstruction can contribute to the future of the built environment.
The recognition reflects not only Lyndsey’s leadership, but the collective effort of the teams, clients and partners working together to prove that a different approach is possible.
Commenting on the award, Lyndsey said:
I’m incredibly proud to receive this recognition, but it really reflects the collective effort of so many people who are passionate about pushing the industry forward.
There is still a huge opportunity for the built environment to think differently about materials, waste and circularity, and it’s encouraging to see those conversations continuing to grow across the industry
