CIOB Chartered Companies and Clients Forum
We were delighted to attend the CIOB Chartered Companies and Clients Forum this week at Reading Town Hall — and we were proud to be the only company from Guernsey taking part.
Our Chairman David Duquemin and Managing Director Darren Du Jardin received our certificate recognising that CA Duquemin has met the new CIOB Chartered Company standards — another milestone in our commitment to quality, professionalism, and excellence in construction.
One of the highlights of the day was a brilliant panel discussion on “How clients and contractors can work more effectively together,” chaired by Paul Chandler, with great insights from Jennifer Makkreel, Lynn Summerfield, and Ian Perry. It really showed how collaboration and communication are key to building stronger partnerships across the industry.
A big thank you to the CIOB team for hosting such an inspiring event and bringing so many industry leaders together under one roof!
