Peter Jacobs was our guest speaker, he is currently the Managing Director of Morgan Sindall London & Aviation and also Senior Vice President of CIOB,
succeeding as President in June 2013.
Peter talked about the Olympic Delivery, the London Market
in 2013/14 including the latest developments in Aviation
Infrastructure. He also spoke on the importance of the Professional Institutions
and their key role.
Peter reviewed the delivery of the Olympics and in particular some behind the scenes aspects which were fascinating. A fantastic project with some extremely interesting angles such there were 14 architects employed!
On the subject of the market Peter was bullish about London. In aviation there is £2 Billion to be spent per annum for the next 5 years which is encouraging.
In his closing remarks Peter wished that the organisations he is involved with - CIOB, RICS, ICE, CIBSE, RIBA - would collaborate actively.
The AGM went well with all officers elected.
As always the evening was capped off by discussions and networking over a glass of wine .... or two!
