September Event - Winning Work

Tim Whitehill delivered a great talk on winning work in this difficult environment.  Tim is Chairman of the Wirral and Warrington CE Club and also a delivery partner with SECBE.  It is terrific to have an individual who is so committed to the Improvement Agenda and actively involved as a corporate member of CE come and speak to the LCEC.  Tim is also the MD and co-founder of the Chester based construction consultancy Room 4 Consulting (click the link to find out more)

Tim's talk took the form of a discussion covering the various initiatives with which Tim is very much acquainted through his connections with the BRE etc., nearly an A-Z!  Zero carbon and global warming came under the spotlight creating a lively interaction. Innovation naturally featured echoing the need to do better on this front. The issue of Excellence vs Compliance together with the reality of the lowest tender price winning were brought to the fore. 

All in all a very thought provoking session which was further discussed during the post talk networking and a glass of wine!
