James Sergeant MCIOB is stepping down from his role as a Tomorrow’s Leaders representative (TLR) for Maidstone Hub after two years in the position.
Sergeant, part of Quigg Golden’s expert contracting team, specialising in the NEC3/4 and JCT, has been involved with CIOB since 2017, when he became a Novus Committee member. He will be handing over to two construction professionals: Joanna Johnson and Lindsey Platt.
Sergeant says his time in the role has been rewarding. “During this (relatively) early stage of my career, the Tomorrow’s Leaders Community has been invaluable to me. It has helped me to make connections within the Maidstone Hub via networking events, improve my knowledge of the as-built environment via CPDs – and I even got to attend Members’ Forum in Sydney!
“However, and more importantly, Tomorrow’s Leaders has also provided me with a platform to give back to the industry, by enabling me to attend schools and colleges to talk to students who, like me, might not otherwise have considered construction as a possible career.
“So, if you are new(ish) to the industry, and looking for a way to kickstart your career, while simultaneously giving back to the industry, I recommend that you contact your hub’s member services and events co-ordinator or your TLR, to discuss ways in which you can get more involved with the Tomorrow’s Leaders community. I promise, you won’t regret it.”
