Client Champions

The CIOB’s client initiative aims to support less-experienced construction clients by curating and sharing best-practice digital resources which will help them achieve improved project outcomes.

The work is led by the CIOB Client Steering Group (CSG), chaired by CIOB Past President Mike Foy OBE MBA FCIOB FCMI and supported by Linda Stevens, CIOB Head of Client Development.

We work closely with appointed CIOB Client Champions who are recognised for delivering excellence in their particular sector, who generously give up their time and expertise to help us create resources that will benefit less experienced clients, end-users and society at large.

Thank you to our CIOB Client Champions:
