The Chartered Institute of Building has confirmed the appointment of five new trustees to its Board following the conclusion of its 2026 recruitment process.

In a statement, the institute said its Nominations Committee had completed the selection process and that the outcomes had been formally ratified by the Board of Trustees.

The 2026 intake included four vacancies for elected trustees and one additional position to be filled through selection. However, the CIOB confirmed that no election was required this year after only four candidates met or exceeded the assessment threshold needed to progress to the election stage.

Under the organisation’s Bye-Law 65(d), where the number of eligible candidates matches the number of vacancies, those candidates are automatically deemed elected without a vote. The decision to proceed on this basis was approved by the Board of Trustees in February 2026.

Dayle Bayliss, Michael Loizias, Duan Van der Merwe and Paul Vega will formally join the Board as elected trustees at the close of the organisation’s annual general meeting on 24 June 2026.

The Nominations Committee also continued its recruitment process to identify an additional trustee to strengthen the Board’s overall skills mix. Acting under Bye-Law 67, it recommended Shu-Ling Lu for appointment following a skills audit and further discussions around board composition.

Her appointment was subsequently ratified by the Board of Trustees in April 2026, with her term also set to begin at the close of the AGM in June.

All decisions relating to the appointments were formally recorded at the Board of Trustees meeting held on 29 April 2026.
