The changes that Caroline Gumble brought about at the CIOB became apparent so quickly that I wrote to congratulate her just a few months after her arrival. To my surprise, she responded immediately, and I remember well the conversation we had about challenges in the construction industry in general and in professional institutions in particular. This was to mark the beginning of a strong professional relationship and a great friendship. It has been a privilege working alongside Caroline, her support and advice during my presidential years was exceptional, as was her ability to combine a punishing travel schedule with a sense of enjoyment. She has helped individuals to grow and develop, built collaborative links with other institutions, been unafraid to challenge where necessary and has consolidated the CIOB as community of modern professionals committed to fulfilling the social value of the built environment. Thank you, Caroline and all success in your next role.
