CIBSE Yorkshire Region Awards 2016
After many years of having a traditional annual dinner, CIBSE Yorkshire decided to give the region something which has been missing for too long; an awards ceremony to give recognition to the individuals, companies and the projects which the building services industry produces. The night was a huge success and Calibre Search were proud to play a part with our Director and CIBSE Yorkshire Chairman, Simon Owen, pulling the night together.
Calibre Search also sponsored the “Student of the Year” category of the first CIBSE Yorkshire Awards, with over 300 guests the Awards were a great celebration of the construction and building engineering industry as a whole.
Simon Owen said “CIBSE Yorkshire has always recognised the Student of the Year from each of our local Education establishments while Calibre Search has always recognised the importance of supporting people launching and developing their careers, there is natural synergy.”
The Awards were a big change to the traditional annual dinner, something that was reflected in the speakers having industry leaders Peter Hansford, the last Government Construction Advisor, Helen Vardy of King Ecgbert School who led the team which won the Class of Your Own (COYO) competition to design a school for Parabongo and Alison Watson, Director of COYO coupled with Chris Gorse from Leeds Sustainability Institute speaking. Adam Smith of The Real Junk Food Project was scheduled to speak, but unfortunately couldn’t do so on the night.
As well as celebrating the industry, the aim of the night was to put something back in to the community. While raising funds for CIBSE Almoner, there was also skills raising for The Real Junk Food Project and COYO, something Alison took further by launching her #BuildParabongo crowdfunding appeal where she is looking to raise £150k to build the school that the students from King Ecgbert’s had designed.
Calibre Search regularly contributes to community events through sponsorship and taking part” commented Matthew Finlay, Director, “It was a brilliant event to attend and reinforce our commitment to the industry”.
