CPSM Report
Our joint CP scheme managers Eva and Bill Whittaker continue to deliver excellent performance for ICorr. In a grand nutshell, this was our best year ever based on capacity maximisation (typically around 95%), total income and overall profit achieved of ICorr courses.
2025 Highlights
- Cadent is currently the biggest investor in ICorrCP training followed by Concrete Repairs Ltd and
then Pragmatic (which is the new agent forNational Gas). - There were many bookings made in 2025 for 2026 CP courses, so the year ahead looks very promising for us.
- The CP Buried sector remains the main pulling force for the ICorr scheme but it’s great to see finally Concrete courses now taking more prominence and we expect the Marine sector to expand when the planned facility at Blyth opens.
- A total of 233x CP exams were taken last year including resits and we had a 91.4% passing rate across the entire season.
We thank everyone who has supported us during the past year.
