Board Room Briefing – from the Chairman
The board is due to meet on the 14th September. If there are any items you would like to be brought to the board's attention for possible inclusion in the agenda, please contact Sarah Tierney. stierney@ciob.org.uk.
The board are aware how tough the market currently is, wherever you are in the UK. Internationally there are conflicting reports. Priority must be given to helping the CBC membership in any feasible way. Please do forward any reasonable ideas to the CBC office for consideration.
Among the items the board has been working on:
A new CBC strapline has been approved. You can find it on the home page of this website, so please feel free to use it as part of your marketing endeavours.
It is intended that a suite of documents for (firstly) consultancies be available in the summer or shortly after. There are legal issues amongst others to be sorted out.
Consultancies have also been asking for suitable Site Boards, and we are attempting to source these of the right price and quality.
Merchandise: What would you find useful? Perhaps hard hats with the CBC logo already attached. Please let us know what else might be worth considering.
Don't forget there is a supply of CBC folders and Professionalism in Building leaflets available F.O.C. which you may find valuable and relevant in sending to clients.
Final thought: What are your thoughts on having a CBC Annual General Meeting?
For those of you who do not know about the CBC board
The board meets three times a year, principally to endorse policy, but we are also an active group who want to move the CBCs forward as a beacon for the wider Industry. We are demonstrating an ability to add value to a diverse and yet select constituency within the industry, and I believe the CIOB – and the schemes – are uniquely placed to meet the needs of many key industry organisations.
The mission of my tenure as Chair is to raise the profile of the CBCs within the Industry. This will be good for the CBCs and good for the industry. In these challenging times, being a CBC is, in my opinion, a great selling point for your Consultancy/Company and puts you to the forefront of any competition. It clearly demonstrates that your firm is run by professionally qualified people.
