Schindler Announces Strategic Alliance with the RIBA
Schindler, the UK's leading provider of lifts and escalators, has formed a strategic alliance with the RIBA.
The RIBA is a global network of 42,000 architects, which provides standards, training, support and recognition to its members. It is also the voice of British architecture.
Each of the organisation's registered architects is required to undertake CPD training every year, and as part of the new partnership, Schindler will sponsor the association's 2014 CPD programme.
Schindler will also be present at selected RIBA events over the coming year and will continue to deliver its own CPD seminars to the RIBA's members. These RIBA-accredited workshops are designed to help architects develop a better understanding of UK and European lift regulations and the environmental impact of lift installations.
The Schindler Group is a leading global provider of lifts, escalators and related services and so its team has a wealth of expertise to help architects and other building professionals advance their knowledge and maintain professional accreditations. The interactive CPD seminars include a presentation and a question and answer session, and can be arranged at a time and venue to suit attendees.
All attendees to a Schindler CPD seminar receive a certificate as proof of attendance, helping to maintain their professional accreditation.
Commenting on the new sponsorship initiative and alliance with the RIBA, Richard Clarke, Sales and Marketing Director at Schindler said, "The RIBA Sponsorship is one of the most high profile partnerships we have undertaken in the UK to date. Schindler is a patron of the RIBA and our sponsorship will help the organisation achieve its charitable mission to champion better buildings, communities and the environment through architecture."
"Over the last 10 years, we have supported young architects throughout Europe with the Schindler Award, which has gained an excellent reputation within the European architectural community. By supporting the RIBA's 2014 CPD programme, we aim to help its members design sustainable, smart cities with horizontal and vertical mobility systems. Together we can shape the future of an ever changing and demanding urban environment."
