A rugby referee with an unrivalled record
Speaking as a special guest at 3.30 pm on 5 October at Healthcare Estates 2022 will be Nigel Owens MBE, the most-capped referee in world rugby. Born and raised in Mynyddcerrig, Wales, he first picked up a whistle at 16, refereeing his first international game in 2005 in Osaka between Ireland and Japan, and making his World Cup debut in 2007 refereeing Argentina v Georgia. In December 2020, he brought his 17-year international career to an end, with the November 2020 France v Italy Autumn Nations Cup game his 100th and final Test match. The first openly gay man to referee at the highest level, he and his partner Barrie, own a 100-acre farm in the Gwendraeth Valley, Carmarthenshire, and Nigel is President of the Wales Federation of Young Farmers Clubs. Aside from anecdotal speeches, he also talks about diversity, mental health, and overcoming adversity.
the Whitworth Rooms. The Ballroom is the largest single hotel event space in the north-west of England, has its own private entrance, and its own private bar for post-awards ceremony celebrating and networking. Steve Webb said: “With an expected 600 guests attending the awards dinner, the night is a fantastic occasion, celebrating excellence and achievement in the industry. The dinner is a unique opportunity to network with award-winners and nominees, exhibition and conference attendees, speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors, and also to continue discussing the day’s topics while enjoying a luxurious three-course meal with wine.”
Speaker made hockey history The after-dinner speaker this year is Kate Richardson-Walsh (pictured), the most capped female hockey player in her
country’s history, who was captain of the GB and England women’s hockey teams for 13 years. An inspirational and charismatic leader, she has been widely credited for helping build the incredible team ethos and commitment that drove the GB team to a nail-biting victory at the Rio Olympic Games in 2016. She has most recently been a sports pundit during the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Having retired from international
hockey after Rio, she played one season for the Dutch team, Bloemendaal, and is now determined to turn her experience towards coaching, encouraging the grassroots development of the game, and applying the leadership, team, and performance lessons of a career in elite sport. She currently serves as an ambassador for UN Women and the Women’s Sport

Tours of The Manchester Civic Quarter Heat Network Tours of 20 people, each afternoon,
Visitors to Healthcare Estates 2022 will be able to pre-register for an optional tour of The Manchester Civic Quarter Heat Network (CQHN), an innovative £20 m energy centre located in the heart of the city, which aims to provide a sustainable heat and power system to several iconic buildings in and around the city of Manchester. CQHN marks a significant step towards enabling Manchester City Council’s ambitious Net Zero goals of becoming zero carbon, zero waste, and climate-resilient by 2038. Under a CEF framework procurement, Vital Energi was tasked with the design and construction of the energy centre and heat network, as well as providing 30-year ongoing operational and maintenance support for the energy centre, which ‘delivers a world-class energy infrastructure to a world-renowned city, underwritten by an innovative savings guarantee designed for flexibility’.
72 Health Estate Journal September 2022
can register and meet at the Carbon & Energy Fund stand, A25 (at 3.15 pm on 4 October and 2.30 pm on 5 October), to walk to see the Tower of Light, and then the boilerhouse, where they will see an overview of the Manchester City Centre District Energy scheme and
the boilerhouse and CHP installation. Those attending the first day’s tour will also be invited to look at The Tower of Light – a 40-metre tall tower supporting and enclosing flues for the low-carbon energy centre, and The Wall of Energy – a 63-metre long, 4-6 metre high street façade enclosing the energy centre. The biomimetic structure of the Tower of Light (pictured) has built on the decade- long innovation and research, Shell Lace Structure, pioneered by Tonkin Liu, and developed in collaboration with engineers at Arup. Learning from geometries in nature, the tower’s form is its strength. The super-light, super-thin single-surface structure uses the least material to achieve the most. The glazed ceramic tiles on The Wall
of Energy, meanwhile, reflect light and movement from the clouds in the sky, and the hustle and bustle of pedestrians and cars on the streets.
