Great start to the week – the #CIOB Leadership Team spent the morning at the Houses of Parliament with the Industry and Parliament Trust. I’ve been to the House of Commons many times but the tour is always special and it’s impossible not to appreciate the history and significance it holds.

It's GCSE results day in the UK - good luck to everyone collecting their results. Had an early start for some radio interviews to make the case that there are careers in #construction for everyone. We need a range of skills & talents - a warm welcome awaits those coming into this important industry.

Another week with some useful meetings, incl. David Hancock (NISTA) - good to learn more about the pipeline of #infrastructure projects & discuss the future of the professions - and Stephen Beechey (Reds10) - great to reconnect and talk about their successful industrialised #construction programme.

New from CIOB's Head of Environmental Sustainability: "The question is no longer whether #ClimateChange will affect the #BuiltEnvironment. The question is whether [we] can adapt quickly enough." With a 5th heatwave likely to hit the UK next week, this is an important read. @elpinchbeck.bsky.social
