CIMCIGS are delighted to launch their new website in April 2010.

The new layout provides the ability to apply for membership online, access and book a space at forthcoming networking and CPD events as well as access to our virtual networking forum on LinkedIn.

It also includes a library of information relevant to those involved in marketing and business development in the construction industry in Scotland. The website has been designed by Farmore IT, a Scottish based design company.

We welcome your feedback on any aspect of our new website as it is important that our users find it welcoming and easy to navigate.

The CIMCIGS professional update seminars continued in March with a briefing from the Scottish Futures Trust (SFT).

The SFT will play a crucial role in the procurement of a range of projects in Scotland including the new schools investment programme and the hub programme.

This seminar provided CIMCIGS members and their guests a great opportunity to hear about the SFT’s role in the procurement of significant infrastructure projects.
