There is an excellent bookshop and a number of product displays to browse. Have a look at www.buildingcentre.co.uk for more information.\n\n We have 2 s peakers lined up, the first is Don Ward, Chief Executive of Constructi ng Excellence. Don has over twenty years' experience of best practice in the construction industry, specialising in industry change, supply chain integration and collaborative working.\n\nOver the last thirteen years he has become one of the leading figures of the UK construction industry reform movement. He was Chief Executive of the Construction Industry Board, Design Build Foundation and BE before his current role with Constructing Excellence. As Chief Executive of the Construction Industry Board, he worked with Sir Michael Latham, UK industry's repre sentative bodies and other stakeholders to implement the 1994 'Latham Report' and latterly the 1998 'Egan Report'.\n\nDon is going to speak to us on \"The effect of the Recession on Partnering in the Constructi on Sector.\" Don's insight will no doubt be valuable and stimulating.\ n\n Our second speaker is Richard White of Pro Excellence Ltd. He has an MBA from Cranfield School of Management (1989) and is a member of t he Institute of Sales and Marketing Management. For the 5 years prior to founding Pro Excellence in 2002, Richard combined consulting with d eveloping major accounts for SECOR Consulting, the UK’s leading inde pendent Customer Management Consultancy. Earlier in his sales career R ichard struggled with and overcame sales reluctance and now uses this knowledge to help sales people and business developers to do the same. \nRichard is passionate about accelerated learning and the mental game of selling. He is a regular writer and speaker on the use of storytel ling and metaphor in business development. Richard divides his time be tween developing Pro Excellence, coaching and mentoring sales managers , and acting as a part-time sales manager for smaller businesses.\n\nR ichard will be chairing an interactive session to help attendees hone communication skills. Whether you are involved in the external sales p rocess or not, these techniques are transferable to getting 'buy-in' f rom colleagues and communicating with other stakeholders in your busin ess.\n\nThere will be a small charge of £10.00 per head to cover some of the costs. The event is limited to 30 places, so please ensure tha t you book early.\n\nFor more information visit http://aecnetwork.ning .com/events/aec-network-meeting-at-the DTSTART:20090723T130000Z DTEND:20090723T170000Z CATEGORIES:aec, network, quarterly, meeting LOCATION:The Building Centre WEBSITE:http://www.buildingcentre.co.uk URL:http://www.buildingcentre.co.uk CONTACT: ORGANIZER;CN="John Cave":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/JohnCave ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://api.ning.com/files/rZkpk9qCcqDE9cmy bnv92myQe0teOIox0uHcATnyaSbu9qzHecqxf4RqTOAqlwUpZghdIQpGia3J9tl1Uct*L1 xfvslrYAH*/AECsquare.jpg ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Mark Und erwood":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/MarkUnderwood ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Sam Faza kerley":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/SamFazakerley ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Mel Star rs":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/MelStarrs ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Alex Lan cashire":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/AlexLancashire ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Liz Kent ish":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/LizKentish451 ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Nikhiles h Haval":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/NikhileshHaval ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Bernie J Mitchell":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/BernieJMitchell ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Gemma Ca therine Went":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/GemmaWent139 ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Laura Mc Cracken":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/LauraMcCracken ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Tim Hall ":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/TimHall ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Herwig D elvaux":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/HerwigDelvaux ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Marcus L eathwood":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/MarcusLeathwood ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Elaine W estwood":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/ElaineWestwood ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Susan Th eron":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/HardHatPicasso ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Janet Sa nders":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/JanetSanders ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Robin Br ittain":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/RobinBrittain ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Jonathan Meade":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/JonathanMeade ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Kiran Si ngh":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/KiranSingh ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Allan Cu rtis":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/AllanCurtis ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="David Mc Mullan":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/DavidMcMullan ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Alex Mor ris":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/AlexMorris ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Su Butch er":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/SuButcher ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Heather Northey":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/HeatherNorthey ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Graham N ewsome":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/GrahamNewsome ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Paul Wil kinson":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/PaulWilkinson ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Geoff Wi lkinson":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/GeoffWilkinson ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Chris Jo nes":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/ChrisJones ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Chris Sh arpe":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/Chris ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="John Cav e":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/JohnCave ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=TENTATIVE;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Sue Hal l":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/SueHall ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=TENTATIVE;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Martin Brown":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/MartinBrown ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=TENTATIVE;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Krystyn a Brooks":http://aecnetwork.ning.com/profile/KrystynaBrooks ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=TENTATIVE;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Don Coo ke -
