Remaining committee members are to continue in their present roles.
Ben Hudson from Premtech – premtech.co.uk gave an excellent talk on the Young Engineer Programme (YEP) and his experience of working on the case study.
Members, including coatings and CP experts, attended and have been mailed by the chair to say thanks and that we welcomed their event ideas, with various away days given as options.
Greg Brown stood down and said “what a pleasure it had been to chair the branch for the past 5 years and that he was just fortunate that the branch had such a good committee.”
The NW committee offer their thanks for all Greg’s past support and guidance. Research showcase events are planned for the spring in partnership with Leeds Uni / Yorkshire Branch.
Mott MacDonald is hosting the YEP lecture programme this year at its Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester offices and the initial events with Jane Lomas and Paul Lambert have proved very successful.
