ICW have released the training course programme for 2020, which is now available here. We have increased the number of public courses this year. However, to ensure we have a minimum cohort to make the courses work for the participants, we may need to cancel individual courses and defer bookings. Full details of all courses including in-house programmes are available on the Website. Please note that for Corporate and Individual MICW members discounts are available on all courses. We would also remind MICW members that with the new route to Fellowship, expanding, learning and building their capability will be part of the CPD assessment.

Congratulations to Babcock [Devonport] Warships and its partners, who successfully achieved ISO 44001 Certification with LRQA just before Christmas. This has been a real journey to bring many of the Defence sector partners [RN, MoD and Babcock] into a truly collaborative environment and bodes well in setting a benchmark in the defence sector.

ICW is delighted to announce the first ISO 44001 certificate in New Zealand has been issued to Downer NZ Ltd Transport Services division. The certificate was issued by BSI under the ICW Validation Scheme. Implementation was supported by the team from ICW New Zealand and ICW UK.

Congratulations to all involved.

ICW Chairman Lord Evans was delighted to present Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) with their certificate for achieving ISO 44001. The BSI certificate was presented to DEWA MD & CEO HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer. This is the first certification to be achieved under the ICW scheme to be awarded in the Middle East region, and we hope it will provide a beacon for collaborative working and further close association with DEWA.

The ICW Awards provided us with the opportunity to present the first company to achieve recognition under the ICW Affliation to B2B Performance Management. As collaborative working becomes more mainstream and the adoption of the International Standard ISO 44001 increases, so for ICW it is important that organisations get the best possible advice and support to harness the benefits. The Consultant Affiliation Programme not only sets a standard for best practice it also provides an opprotunity for ICW to embrace specilist skills.

Congratulations to B2B, John Doyle and his team - we look forward to working with you all.

David Hawkins, ICW Chief Operating Officer

Each year the selection process becomes more challenging but eventually we arrived at some worthy winners and our congratulations to them all.

Congratulations to all those short listed for this year's awards. We had a great evening at the House of Lords to celebrate collaborative working and another successful year for ICW and our thanks to BSI for sponsoring the event and to those member companies that sponsored individual awards. Despite the weather and the diversions of the general election we had a bumper turnout of members and friends.
