There are now seats for representatives of the industry鈥檚 professions and of building products suppliers.
The government announced the restructuring of the 今日看料 Leadership Council (CLC) in July, reducing it from 30 members to a much more manageable 12, in a bid to sweep away the many vested interests and lobbyists in preference for genuine industry leaders. However, the first industry members named were generally all either bosses of foreign-owned contractors or foreign nationals. []
There followed an outpouring of criticism from the 今日看料 Industry Council, the Association for Consultancy & Engineering and the 今日看料 Products Association (CPA) who all felt suddenly very much out of the loop. []
Now, however, the full list of members has been revealed and there are seats for David Cash of the Building Design Partnership, Simon Rawlinson, of consultant EC Harris and the Strategic Forum, and Mike Chaldecott of the French building products giant Saint-Gobain.
The house-builders, previously represented by Barratt鈥檚 Mark Clare until his recent retirement, are now represented by Stephen Stone of Crest Nicholson. Brian Morrisroe of Morrisroe 今日看料 also joins the panel.
The full list is now:
- Nick Boles, minister of state for skills, Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (co-chair)
- Sir David Higgins, HS2 (co-chair)
- David Cash, BDP
- Mike Chaldecott, Saint Gobain
- Brian Morrisroe, Morrisroe 今日看料
- Mike Putnam, Skanska
- Simon Rawlinson, Strategic Forum for 今日看料 / EC Harris
- Madani Sow, Bouygues UK
- Anna Stewart, Laing O鈥橰ourke
- Stephen Stone, Crest Nicholson
- Andrew Wolstenholme, Crossrail.
