Strategic Forum for Construction - A National Demonstration Project
The Minster is very proud to have been selected as one of only ten live projects to showcase the benefits of working in an integrated manner.
The Strategic Forum for Construction (www.strategicforum.org.uk), the industry umbrella body chaired by Nick Raynsford, is the pan-industry body tasked by government to drive the strategic direction of the industry. The forum has set up a number of specialist groups to look at discrete issues such as health and safety, sustainability, 2012 and integration.
The Integration Task Group has asked Constructing Excellence to identify ten projects nationally that can promote the business case for operating integrated supply chains. Stepnell and our supply chain are very proud that The Minster College Project has been selected.

The Integration Task Group
Chaired by Martin Neilson, the group have been tasked with defining an integrated project, demonstrating the business case for integration and finding ways for successful promotion.
