THE BPMA (British Pump Manufacturers Association) has the honour of hosting next year’s Europump Annual Meeting in St Andrews, Scotland.
RICS has named
Manchester’s One Angel Square as Project of the Year at the RICS Awards Grand Final held at the Savoy Hotel in London.

Host Katie Derham of the BBC hosted the event which also saw category awards presented for building conservation, community benefit, design and innovation, and regeneration.
The overall winning project – a £100m new headquarters for The Co- operative Group – is the largest commercial office building in Manchester and has also achieved the highest scoring BREEAM ‘outstanding’ office rating in the country, setting a new national benchmark in sustainable design in the commercial sector. RICS judges said every aspect of the building has been constructed with sustainability at heart, with leading technologies utilised throughout, including underground earth tubes that provide an amount of free heating and cooling.
Grand Final category winners for the 2013 RICS Awards are:
- The Florence Institute, Liverpool

Providing full details on the event, which is being staged at the luxurious Fairmont St Andrews Resort from 22-24 May 2014, the website offers a ‘single source’ reference for all those pump executives looking to attend this important industry event. A comprehensive programme of meetings, workshops and presentations has been configured to allow all matters pertinent to European and American pump companies to be addressed.
Topics such as directives, standards, market reports and other business initiatives, along with the latest appraisals on energy efficiency across the sector will be covered. Full details on the

Further information regarding the event, including specific details on the associated National and Gala Evenings, will be uploaded over the coming weeks and months. Next to the many meetings and workshops, an extensive partner programme has been produced, including award winning afternoon tea overlooking the Old Course at St Andrews, a trip to The Hill of Tarvit, one of Scotland’s finest Edwardian mansion houses, lunch at the world famous Sea Food Restaurant, a cocktail master class and a fantastic Falconry Display. Additionally, following the General Assembly there will be the opportunity to participate in a golf competition, sponsored by WEG Electric Motors and hosted on one of the hotel’s championship courses.
With the event expected to be a sell out, all interested parties are encouraged to book early, as accommodation on site cannot be guaranteed for any reservations that are received after 31 March.

Changing markets, new opportunities
POLITICAL agendas, new technologies, increased competitor activity and amplified customer expectation are changing the market.
For organisations who are innovative, embrace change and want to evolve this will present opportunities for growth and development; for those that don’t the future and even survival is less certain.
Both clients and suppliers from retail, housing, information technology and manufacturers will need to embrace the challenge of new ways of working and take advantage of the opportunities that will come out of the changing nature of the construction
and wider building service industries.
BSRIA’s briefing on 15 November will include leading industry speakers who will give their thought provoking views of how their businesses are changing and ideas of what the opportunities might be for their suppliers in the future. The briefing creates an environment for delegates to challenge and debate ideas, share experiences and network with other professionals from the industry.
The line-up includes John Tebbit of the Construction Products Association, who will chair the briefing; Bukky Bird, programme director for Tesco; Nicola Hayes,
managing director for DCD Intelligence, the research division of Datacenter Dynamics; Jeremy Towler, senior manager of Energy & Smart Technology at BSRIA; Nigel Ingram of the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust and Michael Beavan of Arup Associates.
The BSRIA Lunch follows the Briefing and features guest speaker Sir Clive Woodward, who famously guided England to victory in the 2003 Rugby World Cup and three Six Nations tournaments, including an elusive Grand Slam. He has since served as director of sport at the British Olympic Association, working in partnership with UK Sport.
