During his first year at IChemE, he initiated a three-year plan to implement the Institution's Strategy 2022 that had been developed prior to his arrival, whilst supporting a fundamental review of governance and developing improvements to the member engagement structure. He seeks to ensure that the reputation of professional chemical engineers and technicians is enhanced and maintained through the delivery of a globally recognised qualification structure, and a relevant and vibrant learned society.
