A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been drafted and signed, to provide the basis for closer work to enable members of both organisations to:

• Network and learn across the professions.
• Promote their respective organisations and professions.
• Co-operate on issues of shared concern to better represent members’ interests.

CICES CEO, Simon Hamlyn, said: “I’m delighted to be renewing our MoU with the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, as it reinforces our joint commitment to each other’s organisations and will help ensure a positive environment for further collaboration in our areas of common interest.”

These sentiments were echoed by Ciarb CEO Catherine Dixon, who said: “As Royal Chartered institutions and global professional membership bodies, there are clear synergies between Ciarb and CICES.

“By working together, we can provide greater opportunities for our respective memberships to further their knowledge and understanding of private dispute resolution and civil engineering surveying.

“And by collaborating, we aim to better support our members who may work across or move between the professions.”
