ICW Collaborative Working Awards 2018Thursday 13 December 2018 |
|
This year's awards were attended by the largest gathering of the ICW community ever, a fact recognised by our Chairman Lord Evans in his opening address. As one of the judges he complemented all the finalists on the difficult task they present the judges. He also had the difficult task of formally saying farewell to our CEO Les Pyle who was standing down as of the end of December and welcoming Claire Ward who would be taking up the baton in the New Year. Les was presented with a portrait done by our own Nicky Painter as a memento of his many years as CEO. Les Pyle then took to the podium to offer his perspective on his 17 years as CEO and thanked all those who had supported the development of ICW from what was largely a public sector funded initiative to a private sector focused enterprise. He identified 5 watershed moments under his watch, the Creation, development and publication of CRAFT, DTI funded research in 2005 Future Connections, The launch by BSI of BS 11000 in 2010, Change of name from PSL to ICW in 2012 and the Launch of ISO 44001 in 2017. He thanks those who had contributed to the development of ICW and wished Claire Ward and the ICW team every success. |   |
