One to watch Luke Rushton-Marsh Site manager, Willmott Dixon Interiors
Why did you choose construction? What else might you have done? I stared working as a labourer on a building site during the summer holidays between leaving school and starting college. I was going to college to become a police officer but just fell in love with the construction industry and the general site atmosphere. I dropped out of my college course and never looked back. What are your career ambitions? My career ambitions are to become a director of a large construction company. What do you love about the industry? What would you change? My favourite parts of the construction industry are the sense of pride you get during and on completion of a project, making your mark on history and the people that you meet. Some of my best friends I’ve met through construction and not a day goes by that we don’t have good banter. How do you spend your spare time? I spend my spare time playing golf and spending time with my two children aged five years and eight weeks old.

CIOB Chartered Membership Programme rewards top scorers Three leading candidates received a prize and certificate for vocational project-based work Three new CIOB members who achieved membership throughout the Chartered Membership Programme (CMP) route have had their efforts recognised recently at an awards ceremony for the candidates with the highest scores. In 2021, 392 candidates took the CMP exam. The awards went to the following outstanding candidates: Gold Award – Daniel Grocott, who scored a combined mark of 110 out of 120. Silver Award – Andre Camilleri, who scored a combined mark of 106 out of 120. Bronze Award – Kieran Lonergan, who scored a combined mark of 105 out of 120. Each of the successful candidates received a prize (a glass engraved paperweight) and congratulatory certificate. CIOB recognises success among its CMP candidates every year, rewarding the top scoring candidates from the June and November exams. Their outstanding grades are the result of dedication and hard work while still in a day job.
Surveying firm doubles up with TP and CBC status ICW Technical Services aims to assist employees’ personal development
Daniel Grocott scored the highest in the CMP exam
The CMP route to MCIOB is for individuals with significant management experience who lack formal qualifications at honours degree level. It allows candidates to demonstrate their competence, skills and knowledge through a vocational project-based programme. It takes one academic year to complete and candidates register with an approved provider who mentors and prepares them to sit an open-book exam based on a project scenario at the end of the course, in either June or November. Successful candidates can then progress to the professional review to become a chartered professional. ● ICW Technical Services, the surveying division of ICW Group, a UK provider of building warranties and building control services, has achieved chartered building consultancy (CBC) status. ICW has also recently joined the CIOB Training Partnerships scheme to support its long-term learning and
development strategy, where it aims to assist all employees in achieving professional development goals. ICW has over 140 staff across the UK and a number are already progressing to chartered membership. Several staff members have completed courses through the CIOB Academy.
