Scheme to improve image of construction wants to move to the 鈥榥ext level鈥�
The Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) - the national scheme to improve the image of the construction industry - is recruiting for new board directors.
Isabel Martinson (pictured), who was named executive chairman of the scheme in July, is looking for senior representatives from within and outside of the construction industry to expand the CCS to move to the 鈥渘ext level鈥�.
The CCS is an independent organisation formed in 1997. Construction sites, companies and suppliers voluntarily register with the scheme and agree to abide by the its Code of Considerate Practice. The Code commits those registered with the Scheme to care about appearance, respect the community, protect the environment, secure everyone鈥檚 safety and value their workforce.
The scheme is looking for board members with expertise in areas including marketing and communications, finance, commercial contracts and outsourcing.
Martinson commented: 鈥淭he CCS provides a hugely important and influential role in helping to enhance the construction industry鈥檚 reputation to the public, those within the industry and the government. I look forward to working with a team of newly appointed Board Directors to shape the future reputation of the construction industry through the Considerate Constructors Scheme.鈥�
