Former head of corporate communications, now an independent consultant, Paul Wilkinson joined BIW in early 2000, and played a key role in establishing the business's profile in the construction and property industry and in the media serving that market. Adding to his PR and marketing experiences at BIW, Wilkinson has contributed technology chapters to various text-books and his own book Construction Collaboration Technologies: The Extranet Evolution was published in September 2005.

A respected sector analyst, he still writes about SaaS, the AEC industry, Web 2.0 and related issues on his Extranet Evolution blog. He also led BIW's activities within the NCCTP and Constructing Excellence.

Wilkinson has worked in construction industry PR, marketing and publishing since 1987, working with professional services businesses, predominantly in the construction and ICT industries. After seven years with Halcrow, he spent four years in senior marketing and PR posts at Tarmac Professional Services (now part of Carillion).

Pre-BIW, his consultancy clients included HBG Construction, the Construction Best Practice Programme and the Building Centre Trust. He re-established his business, pwcom 2.0, in early 2009, and writes about PR, marketing and Web 2.0 from a construction perspective in his pwcom blog.
