Dan Patterson of Acumen - Winner of Innovation of the Year:
The awards: "Invention is to create, innovation is to make better. We are honoured to be recognized as an innovative company and will continue to push the boundaries to help better the project management community."
The Symposium: "I am very pleased to have been part of the prestigious group of attendees at the 2012 Planning & Scheduling Symposium. As a first time attendee I was extremely impressed by the organization and professionalism of the event. I am looking forward to attending again next year."
Ray Clarke from Network Rail's Access Planning Team - Winners of Planning Team of the Year:
I would like to thank both Athena for arranging this event and the Judging panel for their endorsement of the complex and challenging nature of planning engineering works on an operational railway, which so often goes unnoticed when it all goes to plan. The night was a fantastic show piece for a critical branch of Project Management which is so very often overlooked. The event was a fantastic cross industry celebration of good project management, which of course means , good planning and scheduling. To have won the team award, which I see as the Blue Riband award , is such a fantastic boost to the team , both locally and across the programme. We are of course hoping that we can continue to repeat this level of success to ensure we get invited next year. A brilliant night with all the awards going to all the deserving winners.
Rob Knox – Junior Planner of the Year Winner:
The Planning and Scheduling Awards 2012 presented an excellent opportunity to meet with new like minded individuals from various industries and organisations and gain valuable exposure to the different elements of Planning & Project Controls. This was achieved via general conversation, as well as meeting with some of the many representatives during the daytime symposium; like the ECITB who gave me a great insight into potential further Project Controls qualifications going forward.
Prior to joining AMEC I wasn’t aware of a clear career path in Project Controls.
However during my time here I have seen this path develop significantly. With the huge investment and improvements in terms of systems and processes being used across the company my focus has been drawn more and more to pursuing a career in Project Controls. Moreover I have been provided with great experience during my time with AMEC both from an Onshore and Offshore perspective which has given me a clearer understanding of the fundamentals and importance of Project Controls and allowed me to contribute effectively on the different projects I have been involved in.
Personally I feel that the Planning and Scheduling awards are complimentary to the above in recognising the achievement of the Project Controls Community. This event provides a positive mechanism in terms of encouraging more people to pursue a career in these key areas as well as promoting best practice. All in all this event can only result in positivity and progression in terms of Planning & Project Controls going forward and will help to highlight the key career opportunities as well as providing the companies and nominees the recognition that they deserve.
I look forward to supporting this event in the coming years and Thank You once again for the recognition in winning Junior Planner of the Year 2012.
