Construction professionals in the North East were challenged to embrace their role in driving social value, sustainability and innovation earlier this month (November) when CIOB President Paul Gandy FCIOB delivered the keynote presentation at CIOB’s inaugural North East Construction Conference. 

Held at Glasshouse International Centre for Music in Gateshead, the event brought together leading professionals, innovators and decision-makers for a day of insight, debate and collaboration – underscoring the region’s growing influence in shaping the future of UK construction. Gandy urged the sector to “think beyond bricks and mortar” and was joined by others on the day showing how the region is playing a pivotal role in shaping a smarter, safer and more sustainable built environment.

The event opened with a welcome from CIOB North East Chair Victoria Lane MCIOB and Michael Foster, managing director of Headline sponsor Diales, who set the tone for a day focused on collaboration and ethical leadership.
