The Institute for Collaborative Working (ICW) is pleased to announce that BAM, our long-standing Ambassador Member, will once again be the proud sponsor of our Annual Collaborative Working Reception at the House of Lords, taking place on 13 May 2026.

This flagship event brings together ICW Executive Network members, industry leaders, and partners from across sectors to celebrate the value and impact of collaborative working.

Frank Lee, CEO of ICW, said: "We are delighted that BAM— an organisation whose values closely align with those of ICW and which actively champions collaboration and the positive impact it can deliver across the infrastructure sector—is once again supporting our Executive Network reception. Collaboration is most powerful when diverse perspectives are brought into leadership and decision-making. This year, we are placing a special focus on recognising the vital role that female collaborative leaders and practitioners play in strengthening partnerships, shaping inclusive cultures, and delivering lasting impact across projects, organisations and sectors."

Gillian Peters, Preconstruction Director (Infrastructure) at BAM UK & Ireland, who represents BAM on the ICW's Ambassador Members Board, will attend the reception, alongside colleagues and partners committed to advancing collaborative working across the sector.

This exclusive, invitation-only reception at the House of Lords provides a unique opportunity for senior leaders to network at the highest level, celebrate excellence in collaborative working, and explore the future of collaboration.

ICW looks forward to welcoming BAM, ICW Executive Network members and their guests, including leaders from sectors where collaboration makes a real difference, to an event celebrating the power and value of working together.
