CIOB President Medals for Doctor and ODA Boss
Dr Roopa Salwan a Consultant Cardiologist at the
Max Devi Vascular Unit in New Delhi, India and John Armitt Chairman
of the Olympic Delivery Authority have both been awarded the
Chartered Institute of Building’s (CIOB) Presidents Medals.
The President's medal is presented each year at the CIOB’s Annual
Dinner in London’s Guildhall for outstanding contribution by an
individual. An honour normally reserved for professionals in
construction.
Speaking about Dr Salwan’s award Martin Chambers CIOB President
said: “In my opinion there are too many occasions where the
construction industry sees its work as the end itself, rather than
simply being the means to an end. As an industry we really are only
enablers.
“Based on my experiences during a recent CIOB visit to India, I can
safely say that without the dedication, attention to detail, and
hard work of Dr Roopa Salwan and her team at the Max Devi Cardiac
hospital in New Delhi it is most likely that I would not be here to
present this medal.
“I can also say that Dr Salwan has much to thank our industry for,
because, were it not for the care and attention to detail by
construction professionals she would be without the superb working
environment enjoyed by her team, and as a result, I am only one of
countless people who have benefited from her skill and application.
My thanks for, and appreciation of Dr Salwan’s work are therefore
without limit.”
John Armitt Chairman of the Olympic Delivery Authority and former
Chief Executive of Network Rail also received a Presidents Medal.
Martin said: “John is for me a giant amongst business leaders. His
ability to distil information, assess the situation, and then do
exactly the right thing are indeed rare qualities.
“On the 23rd February 2007 the 17.15hrs Virgin Pendolino service
from London Euston to Glasgow, was derailed at Lambrigg in Cumbria.
This was an event that tragically resulted in one passenger being
killed and a number of others seriously injured.
“Having taken stock of the situation John took the bold step of
going on national television to confirm that the accident was
Network Rail’s responsibility.
“His action was in my opinion without precedent but also came from
the heart. John’s words and actions said volumes and truly reflected
the sense of loss that people right across the railway industry and
further afield felt that day.”
