Paul Nash receives CABE honorary fellowship

CABE said that Nash was chosen because he is “driven to raise awareness of challenges within the building industry and is focused on driving improvements in building safety”.

CABE CEO Richard Harral commented: “All of the awardees have one thing in common, they want to make a real difference. Whether this is by improving educational opportunities or enhancing a building’s life safety, their work resonates with our values of professional integrity and our focus on public benefit, and I am incredibly proud to now be able to call them building engineers.”

Nash said: “I’ve always said that as professional bodies we are stronger when we collaborate, and the work we have done to raise standards and promote best practice through publications such as the guide to safety-critical elements and the competence frameworks for project managers and procurement practitioners are examples of this.”

“We are on target to publish a guide to safety-critical products later this year, which is a collaboration with CCPI, CPA, RIBA and IStructE, and which will have an important role to play in supporting the wider objective of reforming the construction product regime.”

Nash went on to say: “I hope there will be opportunities for CIOB and CABE to work more closely in the future.”
