The Chartered Institute of Building<\/a> (CIOB) has appointed Sandi Rhys Jones as its new vice president<\/h2>\n

In 2023 Sandi Rhys Jones will become the 120th president of CIOB. Her presidency will follow on from Mike Foy who became CIOB president<\/a>\u00a0earlier this year, and\u00a0Datuk Seri\u00a0Michael Yam who\u00a0will\u00a0become president\u00a0in 2022.<\/p>\n

Sandi Rhys Jones is a businesswoman and non-executive director, previously having worked for technical and professional organisations before\u00a0co-founding\u00a0RhysJones Consultants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She was appointed OBE in 1998 for promoting women in construction.<\/p>\n

A passionate advocate of the importance of the built environment to society, and in particular the role of women in construction<\/a>, Sandi Rhys Jones has\u00a0been a member of many government and\u00a0industry initiatives, from chairing a working group to implementing\u00a0the Latham recommendations on diversity in 1996.<\/p>\n

For the past ten years, she has led the national mentoring programme of the Association of Women in Property, which has a unique focus on working across disciplines in the construction sector\u00a0including clients.<\/p>\n

Sandi\u00a0Rhys Jones has worked for a wide cross-section of businesses and organisations in construction, both in the UK and overseas, including many years for\u00a0FIDIC,\u00a0the\u00a0International\u00a0Federation of\u00a0Consulting\u00a0Engineers,\u00a0and Local Authority Building Control.<\/p>\n

\u2018Bringing about changes that attract and keep more people\u2019<\/h3>\n

Commenting on her appointment as vice president of CIOB, Sandi said:\u00a0\u201cI am privileged to be part of CIOB, an organisation that combines\u00a0a broad and open culture with professional commitment, and to be given the opportunity to help carry forward its objectives.<\/p>\n

\u201cConstruction is a people business, as well as a technical one, that affects the lives and wellbeing of\u00a0everyone \u2013 including ourselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must find a way of bringing about the changes that attract and keep more people, from\u00a0all\u00a0backgrounds, particularly younger people who feel passionately about the major challenges of climate change<\/a> and inequality.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also need the story tellers, who can change the narrative about the positive role of building, not only within the industry but on wider platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caroline Gumble, chief executive of CIOB, added: \u201cI\u2019m very much looking forward to working with Sandi and to welcoming her, not just as our new vice president, but as the 120th CIOB president, taking on the role from Michael Yam in 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cSandi will make an incredibly valuable addition to CIOB\u2019s community, leading the way on many important issues for CIOB and the wider industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith her breadth and depth of knowledge of the industry and her understanding of its place in society, her contribution will be key in helping to deliver CIOB\u2019s ambitions for improving sustainability, diversity and quality standards for the construction<\/a> industry worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n
