Employment solicitor David Gibson and fashion designer Lydia Bellamy have teamed up to deliver an informative and practical guide to transgender issues in the workplace.

Daytona Speedway Design & Build
3 February, 6.30-7.30pm
CIOB past president Chris Soffe will discuss the reconstruction of the iconic grandstand at Daytona International Raceway in Florida. The owner’s challenge was to deliver this 101,000 seat facility by an immovable deadline for the 2015 Daytona 500 race.
Construction had to take place through two hurricane seasons, and allow for two reduced capacity Daytona 500s and other race meets to take place without interruption.
The success was in the pre-planning, the design, the risk allocation and of course a fabulously committed project team.
