BRIC-BY-BRIC TRAINING SCHEME CIH

We had the pleasure of working with the team at Saffer Cooper recently to deliver an expert presentation as part of the Bric-by-Bric training programme.

This is a comprehensive training programme tailored to junior staff within North West based Registered Housing Providers working in Development Teams.

The purpose of the programme is to try and accelerate their learning and knowledge to enable them to become more competent Development Officers.

Our Managing Director Tony McDonnell and Technical & Quality Director Richard Lewis covered everything relating to the role of an M&E Consultant including how the role has changed over time, the benefits of careful M&E Design, and the changing face of M&E in order to help achieve environmental improvement in our homes.

We received some great engagement throughout the 2.5 hour session with many of the students asking thoughtprovoking questions and participating in very interesting discussions.

2023

We’re attending the Chartered Institute of Housing’s annual conference again this year and are looking forward to catching up with many of our clients and contacts old and new.

Tony and Kevin will be in Manchester on Tuesday 27th and Wednesday 28th June so make sure to get in touch if you would like to schedule a catch up.

We’re hosting an exclusive event on the Wednesday at Alberts Schloss with our friends from Alan Johnston Partnership and Paddock Johnson, and are sure it will be a great evening as usual.
