Top firms honoured l YEN awards winners confirmed
Arup, Couch Perry & Wilkes and Crofton Design have been announced as the winners of the Employer of the Year Awards 2011. Now in their third year, the awards – hosted by
CIBSE Young Engineers Network and sponsored by Baxi Commercial Division and Heatrae Sadia – recognise a commitment to supporting and encouraging engineers of the future, and seek to reward those organisations that proactively champion young talent in the industry. CIBSE president Andy Ford said: ‘It is great
to see such fine examples of professionalism in our industry and support for development of the capabilities of young engineers. This shows me that the best can move forward – even in recession – by creating an excitement around respect for each other as both people and engineers.’ Each of the winning companies showed particular commitment to championing newly qualified engineers, and in supporting them in employment and education. For the second year in a row Arup won the award
in the large company category, with Couch Perry & Wilkes winning the medium company category, and Crofton Design the small company trophy. Crofton was also crowned the overall award winner. Barry Henson, from Crofton Design, said: ‘It is fantastic for all our hard work to be recognised. We hope to continue the work to support our students and the engineers of the future.’

Task group needs you!
The CIBSE Maintenance Task Group is currently updating CIBSE Guide M: Maintenance Engineering and Management, and is asking members for feedback on the existing guide. Set up in the 1980s, the group
provides a point of reference and expertise within CIBSE for all matters relating to the operation and maintenance of engineering services in buildings. It also helps to inform CIBSE publications, organise events to help disseminate knowledge, and

promotes good practice. The group is made up of
representatives from leading industry organisations, including BSRIA, HVCA, Mitie FM, SPIE Matthew Hall, and Faithful and Gould among others, helping ensure everyone is working to the same principles. If you would like to offer any
feedback on Guide M you can do so through the CIBSE and BIFM LinkedIn sites, or email current group chairman Jo Harris at
jo.harris@bsria.co.uk by 31 July.
