Following a busy party political conference season, good to get back in the office - and yesterday we welcomed our Trustees for a Board of Trustees meeting and a chance to meet some of the #CIOB team.
A good afternoon, a great chance to network & talk about some of CIOB’s work.

Great start to the week – the #CIOB Leadership Team spent the morning at the Houses of Parliament with the Industry and Parliament Trust.
I’ve been to the House of Commons many times but the tour is always special and it’s impossible not to appreciate the history and significance it holds.
