JCT’s new chair sets out her vision

Karen Kirkham explains how she expects the contracts body to respond to the challenges of a fast-changing industry

After a long association with the Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT), which started at the Construction Confederation during the “Latham years” of the late 1990s, I am pleased and proud to have been appointed chair. After only two months at the helm, my vision of its goals and aspirations is by no means complete – I am still getting used to all the cogs and levers of the organisation. However, I would say the initial priorities must be:

To maintain the profile and standing of the JCT within the industry
To maintain the very high degree of industry engagement
To support the industry in meeting the many challenges it is now facing.
