Aims of the South East Branch

The main aims of the South East Branch are to effectively serve the public and CIOB members and to raise the profile of the Institute in the South East region.

The branch supports seven extremely active centres, all of whom have a programme of topical and varied CPD events. Coupled with these main events each centre has at least one occasion for general networking usually in the form of a dinner of luncheon.

Please visit the relevant centre page to find further details of events taking place in your area. Remember that your non-CIOB colleagues are also warmly invited to attend events.

The Branch works closely with other organisations such as SECBE, CIC, SE RIBA A and ICE to help raise the profile of the construction industry.



Speaker Opportunities


The centres will soon be considering their programme of events for 2009/10. It is the aim of the South East Branch to continue to provide CIOB members and the general with public successful, topical and relevant events.

We would like to hear from you if you have any suggestions for topics or speakers for future events. Additionally, if you are interested in co-hosting an event, please contact salbin@ciob.org.uk.
