Transgender issues in the workplace
28 January, 6-7pm
Employment solicitor David Gibson and fashion designer Lydia Bellamy have teamed up to deliver an informative and practical guide to transgender issues in the workplace.
This key area of employment law has received increased prominence following the groundbreaking case of Taylor v Jaguar Land Rover where JLR was fined £180,000 for breach of the Equality Act 2010.
Gibson will highlight the key legal principles and Bellamy will guide you through practical dress code issues to ensure that transgender workers are respected within the workforce.
The seminar will last approximately 50 minutes and there will be time for questions.
Daytona Speedway Design & Build
3 February, 6.30-7.30pm
CIOB past president Chris Soffe will discuss the reconstruction of the iconic grandstand at Daytona International Raceway in Florida. The owner’s challenge was to deliver this 101,000 seat facility by an immovable deadline for the 2015 Daytona 500 race.
Construction had to take place through two hurricane seasons, and allow for two reduced capacity Daytona 500s and other race meets to take place without interruption.
The success was in the pre-planning, the design, the risk allocation and of course a fabulously committed project team.
