March Overview by Keith Blizzard
Welcome to our March Newsletter.
On 08 February we held our Annual Review and AGM followed by an excellent lunch at the Burlington Hotel in Birmingham.
It was well attended and the Annual Review explained what a busy and successful year we had had including forming new clubs.
There was a report from each of the six clubs including the new chairs Alex Tabb, who reported on the East Midlands Club, and Jasmine Craft who gave the report on the Lincolnshire Club. Andrew James gave a report on the ever busy and successful Hereford and Worcester Club which he has chaired for many years. Mark Barrow now chairs the Shropshire Club and Catherine Windibank chairs the Coventry & Warwickshire Club. Andrew Carpenter announced that the Birmingham & Black Country Club has appointed Faye Beaman, an Associate at Arup, as the new chair. Molly Shaw, the new chair of G4C also gave an update and the immediate past chair Nikita Badesha was thanked for all her hard work and congratulated on her successful period as chair.
There were also reports from the six Theme Groups describing the excellent work that each Group is carrying out.
At the AGM there were the usual administrative tasks to be undertaken with the existing Leadership Board members reappointed but with a change going forward as Tom Woodhead whilst remaining as Treasurer has taken on the new role of Deputy Chief Executive to support Andrew Carpenter and provide some succession planning for the management of CE Midlands.
There are a number of major events coming up with the G4C Midlands Dinner on 21 March. Please come along to support G4C after all, they are the future of our industry and of CE Midlands.
I hope you will find the information in this edition, informative and, hopefully entertaining.
Happy reading.
