The Engineering Council has announced the launch of a new
category of adviser. 'Associates of the Engineering Council' are
recognised as supporters of the organisation, who provide valuable
assistance and support to its work through their knowledge,
expertise and personal networks.
After accepting invitations from Professor Kel Fidler, Chairman
of the Engineering Council Board, the first 22 Associates have been
appointed this month.
Professor Fidler says "We are delighted to welcome such an
eminent group as our initial Associates of the Engineering Council,
and look forward to further building our relationships with
them. We are sure that the Engineering Council and its many
stakeholders will benefit hugely from the wider range of advice and
assistance this scheme will provide in future, as will those taking
part."
Keith Marshall OBE, Chief Executive of SummitSkills, is one of
the first 22 Associates of the Engineering Council and describes
the concept as both innovative and fascinating. He says, "I look
forward to the opportunity to work further with, and contribute to,
the Engineering Council."
