Dear Sustaining Members,
As you will have noticed, there is no Sustaining Members theme featured in this issue as the magazine is publicising EuroCorr 2008 being held at the Edinburgh international Conference Centre on 7 - 11 Sept.
However, the July/August issue will be focusing on Sustaining Members listed under Coating Applicators. Yes, it is a year since the last issue covered this category! This was the largest and best supported issue last year and I am hoping for even more of you to submit your Case Studies this time round. Each entry will be allocated approximately one page made up of 500-600 words editorial plus one or two photographs. The deadline for your submission is 4th July and should be sent to me at admin(5>icorr.org As I am sure many of you are now thinking of holidays, please be sure to get your article sent off in plenty of time.
Talking of holidays, I am off on mine w.c. 8th June and will not be in the office again until
the 24th so if any of you have an urgent query please call Cerri and I know she will help you in my absence. Anything non-urgent can be emailed and I will respond on my return.
Finally, this is my first Sustaining Member letter written from our new office so please make a note of the new address: 7b High Street Mews, High Street, Leighton Buzzard, Beds LU7 1EA. All other contact details remain the same.
Welcome to new Sustaining Members listed on this page and those of you who are listed under the Coating Applicator category, please get your Case Studies off to me for inclusion in the July/Aug issue of Corrosion Management.
Best wishes

Well as the saying goes "You win some - you lose some" and unfortunately the theme for this issue entitled "Women in our industry" just did not happen, i must admit to being surprised that out of approximately 130 Sustaining Members only one company wanted to pay tribute and acknowledge the work undertaken by a lady within their organisation. So well done to Orient (UK) and congratulations to Pat Thompson who you can read about on page 13.
The next issue will not be running a themed feature as it will publicising EuroCorr, which I know will be of interest to many of you.
By the July/Aug issue we will have come full circle and again be approaching all members
under the Coating Applicator category to let me have their Case Studies. This category was \
very well supported a year ago and I hope to hear from many more of you this year. |
I am delighted to welcome 4 new Sustaining Members in this issue and look forward to i '
them participating in the magazine's editorial features.
As always, if any of you have any queries or wish to discuss any aspect of your Sustaining Membership please call me on 01525 851771 or email me at admin@icorr.org
Best wishes

Having recently attended the UK Corrosion Conference in Sheffield, I must say how lovely it was to meet so many of you. I would also like to say a big 'thank you' to fellow exhibitors and Sustaining Members, Duncan MacLean and Suzi of RHINOCEROS, plus Dave Griffiths of Argyll and Ruane, for not only supporting the Institute at the event but for also making the three days a very enjoyable occasion.
During the Conference many members came up to me and commented on the last issue of Corrosion Management saying how much they enjoyed the feature on Coating Applicators so I am hoping that this issue, which covers Suppliers, will be equally as well received.
The next issue will be featuring Cathodic Protection and Training so I will be talking to all of you registered under that category in the next few weeks.
Incidentally, if any of you have any comments or suggestions to make about this new themed section for Sustaining
Members please let me know - I am always interested to hear your views and any recommendations you may have.
Welcome to our new Sustaining Members listed below and I must mention that some of these companies have joined as part of the ICAT Scheme whereby they get a year's free Sustaining Membership. I am delighted to say that so far, every company following its free 12 months, has decided to remain a Sustaining Member and the Trustees would like to thank them for their continued support.
Finally, I hope by now all of you have paid your subscription for 07/08 so that I have not got to spend an entire day at Head Office on the phone chasing your accounts people!
Best wishes,

Dear Sustaining Members
Firstly, a big'thank you' to those Sustaining Members who have got our first themed issue on Coating Applicators off to a flying start and I am sure our members will be interested in reading about the various projects you have undertaken. I know many of you were on holiday and unable to contribute but hopefully you will be on board next time round.
The next Sustaining Member theme will be for Suppliers and i will be writing to all of you within that category shortly with details of what is required.
In the last issue I mentioned the UK Corrosion Conference being held at Sheffield Hallam University this year and I am hoping that many of you will now have had time to consider attending this event and taking
an exhibition space. All details and costs were included in the centre pages of our May/June issue and I will be contacting you shortly to try and gather support for this event.
It has come to my attention that many of you are unaware that as Sustaining Members you are eligible to use the ICorr logo on your marketing documentation/ website etc. If you are currently not displaying this and would like me to forward an electronic version, please either call me at the office or email me on admin@icorr.org
Finally, are there any of you who could help one of our Sustaining Members, Duncan MacLean of RHINOCEROS Ltd who would like to speak to someone dealing in nano
coating, if so, can you please give him a call on 0208 444 6165.
In closing, and for the second issue running, I must apologise to our new Sustaining Members who were not named in the last issue. A last minute opportunity for the publishers to sell an advertisement space unfortunately took precedence but I have been assured you will definitely be mentioned in this issue!
As always, if any of you have any matters you would like me to look into on your behalf, please give me a call.
Best wishes

In the last issue, I told you about the new themed section we will be running for Sustaining Members and by now you should all have received a letter and schedule from me. Please put this schedule in a prominent position so you can make yourself familiar with the date of the issue, which be covering your category and allow yourself plenty of time to decide on the project you wish to have publicised. I will write to you again prior to your category coming up and will be available to answer any questions you may have. The next issue will be the first of our themed sections covering Coating Applicators and Training, so to all of you within this sector please get thinking.
As you are aware, UK Corrosion 2007 is not far off and I hope many of you will consider
supporting this event by taking an exhibition stand over the three days. It will give you a great opportunity to talk to other people in the industry and market your business, whilst at the same time being eligible to attend the ICorr banquet. For further information on availability, costs and stand sizes please contact me and I will put you in touch with the Conference Organisers. Additional information can be obtained on the ICorr website.
Finally, I apologise that new Sustaining Members were not listed in the last issue but they have been included along with those on page 5. Welcome to you all and as always, Council hopes you will have a long and beneficial association with the Institute.
Best wishes,
Heather
Sustaining Member Liaison Officer
In this, the last issue of Corrosion Management for 2007,1 must say an enormous 'thank you' to all the Sustaining Members who submitted articles for the Cathodic Protection feature. I hope you agree that their contributions have provided a really useful and informative insight into the work undertaken by this sector of the industry.
The first issue of 2008 will feature Consultants Testing and Inspection and whilst there are fewer Sustaining Members in this category, I am looking forward to receiving some extremely interesting case studies. The deadline for editorial is 12th January so plenty of time to get over the holiday period and be back in work mode again!
Welcome to SciSite our latest Sustaining Member. I met Professor Haycock at UK Corrosion and am delighted that he proceeded with his application to become a member.
Finally, just in case any of you find you have spare time on your hands during the Christmas break, please check your entries in Corrosion Management and on the website and let me know of any changes. On a moaning note, there are a few of you that have still not paid your membership fees and I would really appreciate it if you could give this matter your urgent attention.
For now, my personal thanks to you all for the co-operation I have received this year in getting our themed issues up and running and I look forward to working with you all again in the New Year.
With Best Wishes for a very Merry Christmas and extremely prosperous New Year.
Heather
Sustaining Member Liaison Officer
Welcome to the first issue of the New Year and I hope you are all going to continue to take advantage of your Sustaining Membership benefits. Last year we managed to get our themed features up and running and I hope you will continue to support this initiative throughout the coming year.
We kick off 2008 by featuring Consultants, Testing and Inspection, featured on pages 9-12. Thank you to those companies who contributed and I am sure you will all find their articles useful and informative.
This leads me on to the Mar/Apr feature, which is open to all Sustaining Members and called "Women in our Industry". Now I know there is not a male chauvinist amongst you so I am looking forward to hearing about women achievers within your organisation. This can be at any level, from the lady responsible for the smooth running
of your business, to someone who has gone on to make a career within the Corrosion Industry. Brenda Peters, our President, is a fine example of the opportunities open to women who wish to progress in this field. I am hoping this will be our biggest feature yet so please acknowledge the vital role women play within your organisation.
January is always a fairly quiet month but I am delighted to welcome six new Sustaining Members. However, sadly, I have also had to cancel some memberships due to non-payment of fees. I will not name these companies as it is their choice but the Trustees would like to thank them for their past support.
Best wishes
Heather
