UKCIG press release on Site Supervisor Training

With effect from 1 January 2010, UKCIG member companies will adopt a new supervisor training standard to ensure that supervisors working on their sites can demonstrate that they have the necessary knowledge and skills to supervise their workers effectively. A copy of the standard is attached.


Speaking about this initiative, Stephen Ratcliffe, Director of UKCIG said: “UKCIG has identified the need to tighten up the competence of supervisors to help improve health and safety performance. This standard is the means by which members will tackle the issue. There are a number of training courses available that will deliver training to the standard. However, it is not our intention to recognise or accredit particular courses. It

will be down to individual members to decide on appropriate training. What we have done today is announce a common standard which all our members will adopt.”

Urban&Civic to target regional-scale UK estates

Transatlantic private equity house GI Partners has agreed to invest up to 150 million pounds ($252 million) in a real estate venture targeting land and estates in the UK, a source familiar with the matter said on Monday. Urban&Civic, led by former Lend Lease Europe (LLC.AX) senior executives Nigel Hugill and Robin Butler, will acquire metropolitan or regional-scale sites with the potential for major redevelopment, it said in a statement.

The company has made its first purchase by paying 27.5 million pounds for the 1,100-acre former Alconbury Airfield in Cambridgeshire, a U.S. airbase during World War Two, and expects to announce further acquisitions in due course.

GI Partners had closed its third fund last month, raising $1.9 billion, and the fund will provide investment capital for Urban&Civic, it added.
