CIBSE Patrons (Employer of the Year)
CIBSE Patrons is a network of businesses who collaborate to give financial, technical and moral backing to a wide range of initiatives led by CIBSE. Members include consulting engineering practices, manufacturers, contractors, and trade bodies. The Patrons’ primary focus is on ‘nurturing talent’: they support a wide range of initiatives designed to attract, encourage and improve the recruitment, development, training and retention of engineers on behalf of the industry at large. This support ranges from the production of careers booklets, to the sponsorship of bursaries, and to their growing role as lead supporter of the CIBSE Young Engineers Awards.
Swegon (Graduate of the Year)
At Swegon, we believe that indoor environments should make people feel good within the spaces where they spend their time – and feel good within themselves. After all, around 90% of our time is spent indoors. It’s no exaggeration to say that our health, happiness and performance depend on it…. Which is why we engineer HVAC products that are not only highly energy efficient but also easy to combine into systems.
We do it to bring ambitious solutions to life, so that all stakeholders can enjoy the benefits of sustainable buildings. It’s also why Swegon products are designed to be easy to install and commission. And why they are built to last – because good health, happiness and performance should always be a long-term investment.
A true partner, we take responsibility for our role in every project and work to minimise lifecycle costs, reduce complexity and provide competent support – from project start to finish, and beyond. All to help deliver a flexible, health and safe HVAC solution that works exactly as desired. Every time.
Add it all up, and you get indoor environments that let people be at their best, today and tomorrow!
