THE first group of project managers employed by BAE Systems to gain chartered status is celebrating their success.
A group of nine project managers from BAE have spent time undergoing a gruelling assessment which examines technical knowledge and professional practice.
The qualification means they have now gained a professional qualification recognised widely across industry.
Among those to qualify is Barrow-based Head of Project Controls from BAE Systems Lisa Penfold.
She said: "For me, applying for Chartership was an opportunity to validate my years of practice and confirm that I was operating at an industry recognised standard.
"It did take time to prepare a written submission so you can clearly articulate your professional experience and technical knowledge of project management.
