The School is led by our Partners - they direct and drive everything we do.

Become a Partner

Our Partners set the strategic direction of the School and identify key issues to address, new training to develop, supplier day and workshop content, and, just as importantly, ensure the good governance of the School.

Partners also receive a full package of benefits, such as: bespoke training workshops, speaking opportunities, supply chain tracking technology and real opportunities to collaborate and innovate alongside some of the key companies in the built environment sector (See our FAQs below to find out more about the offer).

Working with Partners, the School is committed to building the sustainability skills of the industry, and so continuously welcome new Partners on board who come from all levels of the value chain.

Becoming a Partner is a simple process, so to find out more or express an interest in becoming a Partner, contact Paul Parkinson at [email protected] or call 07568 052780.

Becoming a Partner is a simple process. Contact Paul Parkinson to understand the Partnership offer.

No. Although we understand it could look like that. Larger organisations took the lead to help develop the School initially but now they’re intent on bringing in Partners from across the value chain. The School Partners welcome and actively promote becoming a Partner to companies from all sizes and sectors in the built environment. (For example; if you turnover £75 million or less the cost is only £6,600).

Still not sure? Contact Paul to find out if becoming a Partner could work for you.

No. The School is free at the point of use. We will not charge your supply chain for any of the resources. The School is funded by a combination of Partner fees, CITB and other funding bodies as and when appropriate. The School’s accounts are transparent, signed off by the Board and available for review by Partners.

Our pricing structure is tiered and split into six individual brackets dependent on the benefits you wish to take up:

  1. £7,600 - Your organisation would like to sit on 1 category (or regional group)

  2. £12,700 – Your organisation would like to sit on up to 8 leadership groups and receive standard benefits

  3. £15,900 - Your organisation would like to sit on up to 12 leadership groups and receive advanced benefits

  4. £18,900 – Your organisation would like to sit on up to 15 leadership groups and receive premium benefits

  5. £24,500 – Your organisation would like to sit on up to 18 leadership groups and receive maximum benefits

  6. £6,900 – Mid-sized contractors and suppliers with under £50 million turnover (please contact Paul Parkinson to find out if you are eligible for this rate).

In short, it means that you are focused on developing the sustainability skills and knowledge of your workforce and supply chain. The School Partnership is a legally constituted partnership, and all Partners are required to sign a Partner Schedule which forms part of our Constitution, as well as our Code of Ethics.
