3 years ago

Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce has announced a new partnership with the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).

CIOB is the world's largest and most influential professional body for construction management and leadership. It has a Royal Charter to promote the science and practice of building and construction for society's benefit, which it has been doing since 1834. CIOB members work worldwide on the development, conservation and improvement of the built environment.

By partnering with CIOB, the Chamber can offer its members even more industry news and guidance, as well as discounted training courses certified by the CIOB and events designed to support innovation and share globally recognised standards of best practice.

Diane Elebert-Morgan, Property & Construction Group Manager at Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, said: "I'm very pleased to be working with CIOB, which is a leader in its field. This new partnership will add knowledge and value to our members, particularly those in the Property & Construction sector. We will now be able to share information, offer discounted training courses and work collaboratively on events for both organisations."

Hazel Yorke CMgr FCMI, CIOB Business Development Manager North, said: "Greater Manchester Chamber is a champion for the local construction industry's needs. As a like-minded organisation, we are very excited to work together to support members, sharing best practice, providing knowledge and offering more opportunities through these challenging times."
