| PUTTING THE NORTH-EAST ON THE "MAP" !! |
|
The success of MAP (Membership Assistance Programme) continues in the North East which was formed in October 2009. During most recent professional interviews held at Jesmond Dene House we saw five candidates progress to full corporate membership of which 3 were on the MAP programme which undoubtedly assisted them all through the process to achieve their MCIOB status.
Well done to all those that passed and long may MAP continue to thrive and fully support members in the north east region to progress.
Should you be interested in joining the programme simply contact Jane Knox, Branch Manager CIOB North East on 0845 070 6149 or email jknox@ciob.org.uk. |
| Branch Chair - Ted Green | |
| I work as a Senior Site Manager for Surgo Construction a leading Chartered Building Company based in the North East. I have worked in construction for over 26 years for a range of local and national contractors. I completed the CIOB site management certificate and diploma at Northumbria University before moving onto a part-time degree in site management, followed by NEBOSH Certificates in Safety. I strongly believe that the CIOB has a leading role to play raising the standards of the construction industry. |

|
As Branch Chair I will encourage and be available to give advice to future members on how to progress through the different levels of membership as well as taking an active role as an ambassador of the industry within the local schools to encourage children to consider construction as a preferred option and dismiss the poor image and unjustified criticism often portrayed of our industry. |

| CIOB Students engage on the Green ! |
|
Professional body students from CIOB, RIBA, ICE and RICS gathered for a Golf Day at Ramside Hall Hotel Golf Club on Friday 30th April 2010.
The team consisted of CIOB construction students studying at the University of Northumbria, which proved to be a great event for them to develop their social and networking skills in a relaxed environment. It proved to be a hotly contested stableford 4 ball game with seven of the ten teams to score. Despite the disappointing result a good day was enjoyed by all who participated and the team is looking forward to the event scheduled again for next year. |

All team members were present and received due recognition for their contribution and proudly placed fourth at the national final.
In addition Clare Middleton who was voted CIOB Student of the Year was also present with her parents to see her being presented with this prestigious award.
