Basking in sunshine and shared purpose, today we had the great pleasure of welcoming ICW's corporate members, their guests, and speakers to the ICW Collaborative Working Reception 2025, hosted at the prestigious House of Lords.

The event kicked off with a warm address from Lord John Hannett OBE, ICW's Chairman, and brought together leaders and advocates of collaborative working from across sectors.

From the official launch of the Collaborative Awards 2025 to the unveiling of the 2025 edition of The Partner - our flagship annual publication - this special occasion highlighted the power and potential of strategic collaborations.

We were particularly inspired by the keynote address from Alan Cox, Managing Director at BAM UK & Ireland, who shared powerful insights on the importance of collaboration in overcoming industry challenges and how effective collaborative working creates long-term, tangible value.

Key highlights from the day included:

• Leading Edge Award presented to Modus Ltd and partners - Vercity, Amey, Skanska, and Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO).
• ISO 44001 Certifications awarded to CGI and Mitie.
• ICW Fellowships presented to Edward Moore and Stephen Scott.

Their dedication and longstanding commitment to collaborative working continue to inspire our community and drive positive change across industries.

Our sincere thanks to BAM UK & Ireland, our valued Ambassador Member and event sponsor, for their ongoing support and leadership in this space.

With sunshine, celebration, and strong connections, the day was a true reflection of what collaboration means and what it can achieve.
