The CIOB North East Hub Annual Dinner will be held on Friday 12 April at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Newcastle.
The guest speaker and compere of the event will be Paul Sinha – perhaps best known as the ‘Sinnerman’ on the ITV quiz show The Chase.
Born in the UK to Bengali parents, comedian Sinha is a trained doctor who took his first steps on the stand-up comedy circuit in the 1990s before becoming a full-time comedian after nomination for the Edinburgh Comedy Award.
A lifetime of curiosity led him to yet another concurrent career, as a general knowledge expert on The Chase.
Special guest at the evening is CIOB vice-president Mike Kagioglou.
Kagioglou is dean of Engineering, Design and Built Environment at Western Sydney University, where he also holds the role of pro-vice-chancellor, global development (UK & EU). He will become the 121st president of CIOB this year.
Tickets for the black-tie event include a three-course meal, welcome drink and a chance to take part in the ‘Heads and Tails’ ice-breaker.
The event is sponsored by Competence Matters and Consortium Procurement Construction.
