For a second year running, the CIOB is teaming up with ITN Productions to produce a news and current affairs-style programme to showcase construction management.
Anchored by Natasha Kaplinsky, the programme, titled Masterminds of Construction, will look at the diverse roles of construction managers and the work they do. It will also explore the many different pathways to working in the industry.
The programme follows last year’s Building Tomorrow programme which championed construction managers, celebrated innovation and encouraged the exchange of ideas.
The new programme will combine key industry interviews and reports with editorial profiles featuring leading construction organisations. It will aim to show how transformative and demanding construction management is, and how unforeseen events that have brought risk to projects have been overcome.
It will also look at the importance of professionalism and why ethics is integral to successful working practices.
Bridget Bartlett, CIOB deputy chief executive, said: “Our continued partnership with ITN Productions is all about telling the story of this great industry, the careers that can be had within it, and its importance to our everyday lives.”
ITN Productions’ UK director of programming, Simon Shelley, said: “We’re excited to embark on a programme that explores the enthralling and demanding role of construction managers and engage with professionals throughout the sector to tell that story.”
Masterminds of Construction will premiere at the launch of the new CIOB Academy on 13 December 2016, at 30 St Mary Axe in central London.
