It was a jovial evening and also an opportunity for the brightest young construction professionals to network, whilst enjoying breathtaking views over East London.

The response from attendees was extremely positive, with new teams being formed on the night, and a growing atmosphere of healthy competition building in advance of the 14th August registration deadline. New friends and connections were made between individuals from different professions who wouldn’t typically have the opportunity to meet at such an early stage in their careers.

Sarah Hobday-North, an urban designer from BDP summed up the general reaction from the evening: “I’m sold!”

The Teambuild 2009 competition is shaping up to be another great success. Our tanks to Mayer Brown LLP for hosting this event for us, and congratulations on their stunning new venue!

We are grateful, as always, to all of our institutional sponsors, many of whom came along to support the event. A special mention goes to the CIOB, who have been particularly generous in their support of TeamBuild this year, and also to the Society of Construction Law ( SCL) who join us in 2009 for the first time, as our newest institutional sponsor! We are delighted to have them on board, and thank them for investing in our young professionals in this way.
