Executive Board Message 2021
I think you will all agree that it has been quite a year, but hopefully we should see a return to something that is, if not normal, then closer to normal life as we begin to pick-up the pieces and engage with colleagues and face-to-face business challenges.
The lockdown has given the IBP executive board a chance to reflect and review where we are as a membership organisation, and to look at how we might want to shape the role of the organisation going forward.
The executive board has lots of ideas and you will hear more about these initiatives over the next months as we prepare for this year’s journalism awards. If you have any ideas that you would like to share with the board please let me know by email to: Harriett.Hindmarsh@aecom.com

Peter Bill receives Outstanding Contribution to Journalism Award
Peter Bill is still in journalistic harness, having worked in the construction sector in many different forms, since leaving school at the age of 15 and starting to train as a surveyor in 1962.
A long-form career included 11 years with Wimpey, two with Anglo-American in Zambia, then eight years with a builder and housebuilder before his conversion to journalism, joining Contract Journal in 1983.
Our new journalist had no time to waste. After two years at CJ he was off to Building as features editor, rising up the ranks to become editor from 1990 to 1996, a highly successful era for the magazine, when it won unprecedented numbers of awards including many IBP Journalism Awards.
A brief excursion in the City of London at Fleming Securities was a reminder of the civilised nature of the world of IBP. Editorship of the Estates Gazette followed, then a long period as a columnist on EG, but also in the general public’s eye as the Evening Standard weekly property commentator.
Now an occasional columnist for Property Week, he also produces an acerbic daily twitter comment while working on his latest book, entitled Arrested Development, a follow-up to Planet Property, published in 2014.
Peter’s continued contribution to journalism in the built environment is marked with the presentation of the first IBP Outstanding Contribution Award.

Built environment comms professional? Stand out by learning the science behind the art of communications
Harriett Hindmarsh,
Chair of the Board for IBP and Vice President, Global Marketing and Communications at AECOM.
I’ve worked in the built environment industry as a communications professional for over 10 years and in that time I’ve seen the role evolve enormously.
The post-recession world is incredibly dynamic and demanding with more and more pressure on resource and the need to be accountable, and in my opinion as professionals we need to acknowledge the way the profession is changing.
Here are the major trends that you need be on top of if you want to thrive...

Introduction
Introduction
International Building Press (IBP) was founded in 1969 by a group of forward looking editors writing about the construction industry. Since that time IBP has provided a unique forum for national, regional, business and technical journalists, and communications professionals involved in the architecture, construction, housing and commercial property sectors. The focus of IBP is to organise activities which help broaden members’ knowledge and understanding of the industry.
Administered by an executive board elected from the membership each year, IBP arranges press exchanges, for the benefit of both young journalists and PR’s on a range of subjects, from building relationships in the sector to the constantly changing digital development that assists all of us to inform and keep in touch.
The IBP Awards, established in 1973 recognise excellence in journalism in the built environment and offer substantial prizes as well as prestige to the winners.
The Communication and PR Awards scheme launched in 2013 was introduced to showcase major PR successes and campaigns in the built environment to highlight good communications skills and innovation.
Whilst all IBP events have a serious career and CPD aspect to them, they also have a social element to them which provides an informal opportunity for members and their guests to meet leading journalists and communicators working in the industry.
Please take the time to navigate the IBP website for more information that may be of particular interest to you.
