The Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors celebrated the granting of its Royal Charter and 40 year anniversary at an event addressed by the Construction Industry Council.

Graham Watts OBE, Chief Executive of the Construction Industry Council, who has worked with the Institution for more than 20 years, spoke at the event and guests included representatives from industry partners including Balfour Beatty, Carillion, RICS, ICE, Network Rail, Construction Youth Trust and the Olympic Delivery Authority.

Prior to the celebration, the institution’s advisory solicitor John Rushton and President Steve Jackson attended the Crown Office at the House of Lords to collect the Royal Charter.

Steve Jackson, President of the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors, said:
“Securing the Royal Charter has been a long and exciting journey. The Charter unites our members all over the world and celebrates their achievements. I’m looking forward to the future and the Charter is a springboard for growth as well as a hallmark of excellence. To be able to celebrate our achievement with so many of our peers is a real honour.”

“On behalf of ICES Council of Management and our members, I would like to thank all those who have taken an active role and supported the Institution in this fantastic achievement.”

The Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors was established in 1969 in order to support the professional development of surveyors working in the civil engineering industry.
