CIC marks milestone anniversary

The Construction Industry Council (CIC) celebrates its 35th anniversary this week.

Since its establishment in 1988, CIC has played a pivotal role in advancing the construction industry by promoting collaboration, knowledge sharing, and excellence among professionals.

CIC was born from the idea to unite professional bodies across the diverse built environment sector. In the past three and a half decades, it has evolved into a dynamic network spanning a multitude of disciplines and expertise. 

Sharing in the milestone, CIC has announced two new Members; the National Federation of Demolition Contractors and the Survey Association plus the Institute of Construction Management who join as an associate member.

This takes CIC up to a record 37 Members, the most it has ever had. CIAT has been a Member since CIC's inception.

Chief Executive Graham Watts commented: "We are immensely proud of our achievements and the impact we've made on the sector.  We owe our success to the support of our many members, and the dedication of our small team. We look forward to continuing our mission to bring the built environment professions together in the years to come."

Dr Wei Yang, CIC's Chair also said: "As we celebrate CIC's 35th anniversary, we reflect on the remarkable journey of CIC and look towards its future. In the coming years, CIC will remain at the forefront of promoting collaboration, knowledge sharing, creative problem-solving within the construction industry."
