He has been fascinated by music, electronics and generally pulling apart, making and fixing things from a very early age causing periodic mayhem and consternation in the family home \u2013 e.g. quarter horsepower, Meccano-based electric curtains inspired by those in Mrs Peel of the TV Avengers\u2019 apartment, but rather opening and closing with a bang rather than a swish.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After graduating in Engineering and Digital Electronics, Mark worked in aerospace electronics for a few years before founding his own company in 1976 \u2013 applying aerospace technology to the enhancement of music. This was at the very start of the microprocessor and digital revolution. His company, AMS Neve, designs and manufactures professional sound recording and mixing equipment to the world\u2019s top studios and artists \u2013 exporting over 80% of its output and winning three Queen\u2019s Awards for Export.<\/p>\n<p>The business has also won an Emmy\u2122 and a Grammy\u00ae for advancing the art and science of sound production, and Mark has personally won two Scientific and Technical Academy Awards (Oscars\u00ae) \u2013 these for the pioneering work on hard disk recording and digital film mixing \u2013 both developed entirely in Burnley, Lancashire, and changing the way music, TV and Film sound is produced. Mark was appointed OBE for Services to Advanced Manufacturing and Creative Industries in the New Year\u2019s Honours 2014.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years he has devoted much time and resource to developing and promoting Burnley as a thriving centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering. As part of this activity, he was inspired to launch and fund the \u201cMaking it in Burnley\u201d programme using the Primary Engineer courses \u2013 made available to all Burnley Primary Schools with the result that 2,500 children were able to experience the joys of making electric cars within a year of conception of the programme.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"ult-overlay-close top-right\" style=\" \"><div class=\"ult-overlay-close-inside\">Close<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1503395673233{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm&#8221;][vc_raw_html css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1618427792268{padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221;]JTNDaW1nJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZsZWFkZXJzYXdhcmQuY29tJTJGd3AtY29udGVudCUyRnVwbG9hZHMlMkYyMDE3JTJGMDglMkZzdXNhbi15b3VuZy5wbmclMjIlMjBvbm1vdXNlb3ZlciUzRCUyMnRoaXMuc3JjJTNEJTI3aHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZsZWFkZXJzYXdhcmQuY29tJTJGd3AtY29udGVudCUyRnVwbG9hZHMlMkYyMDE5JTJGMTAlMkZzdXNhbi1ub3ctbGEucG5nJTI3JTIyJTIwb25tb3VzZW91dCUzRCUyMnRoaXMuc3JjJTNEJTI3aHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZsZWFkZXJzYXdhcmQuY29tJTJGd3AtY29udGVudCUyRnVwbG9hZHMlMkYyMDE3JTJGMDglMkZzdXNhbi15b3VuZy5wbmclMjclMjIlMjAlMkYlM0U=[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1505644733316{padding-top: 20px !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Dr Susan Scurlock MBE&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:32|text_align:center|color:%23e30e13|line_height:1.2&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Damion%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1618427706250{margin-top: -30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;CEO and Founder of Primary Engineer Programmes&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:16|text_align:center|color:%23e30e13|line_height:1.2&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1505644789796{margin-top: -30px !important;}&#8221;]<div id=\"modal-trg-txt-wrap-3983\" class=\"ult-modal-input-wrapper ult-adjust-bottom-margin    \" data-keypress-control=\"keypress-control-enable\" data-overlay-control=\"overlay-control-enable\"><button  data-ultimate-target='#modal-trg-txt-wrap-3983 .btn-modal'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"background:#e30e13;border-color:#e30e13;color:#FFFFFF; \" data-class-id=\"content-668f8141ecb665-62399497\" class=\"btn-modal ult-responsive btn-primary btn-modal-sm overlay-show ult-align-center btn-id-668f8141ecb665-62399497\" data-overlay-class=\"overlay-slideright\">Read about Susan<\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"ult-overlay content-668f8141ecb665-62399497 \" data-class=\"content-668f8141ecb665-62399497\" id=\"button-click-overlay\" style=\"background:rgba(227,14,19,0.8); display:none;\">\n\t<div class=\"ult_modal ult-fade ult-small\">\n\t\t<div id=\"ult-modal-wrap-8831\" class=\"ult_modal-content ult-hide\" style=\"border-style:solid;border-width:2px;border-radius:0px;border-color:#e30e13;\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ult_modal-header\" style=\"background:#e0e0e0;color:#333333;border-color:#e30e13;\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-8831 .ult_modal-title'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-title ult-responsive\">Dr Susan Scurlock MBE, Founder &amp; CEO of Primary Engineer Programmes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-8831 .ult_modal-body'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-body ult-responsive ult-html\" style=\"background:#ffffff;\">\n\t\t\t<strong>Susan founded Primary Engineer in 2005 and has over the years developed many additional programmes such as Secondary Engineer, The Leaders Award for STEM and now the Institutions of Primary Engineers and the Institutions of Secondary Engineers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>She previously worked professionally as a graphic designer, moving on to become a teacher in a secondary school for eight years.

This was at the very start of the microprocessor and digital revolution. His company, AMS Neve, designs and manufactures professional sound recording and mixing equipment to the world\u2019s top studios and artists \u2013 exporting over 80% of its output and winning three Queen\u2019s Awards for Export.<\/p>\n<p>The business has also won an Emmy\u2122 and a Grammy\u00ae for advancing the art and science of sound production, and Mark has personally won two Scientific and Technical Academy Awards (Oscars\u00ae) \u2013 these for the pioneering work on hard disk recording and digital film mixing \u2013 both developed entirely in Burnley, Lancashire, and changing the way music, TV and Film sound is produced. Mark was appointed OBE for Services to Advanced Manufacturing and Creative Industries in the New Year\u2019s Honours 2014.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years he has devoted much time and resource to developing and promoting Burnley as a thriving centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering. As part of this activity, he was inspired to launch and fund the \u201cMaking it in Burnley\u201d programme using the Primary Engineer courses \u2013 made available to all Burnley Primary Schools with the result that 2,500 children were able to experience the joys of making electric cars within a year of conception of the programme.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"ult-overlay-close top-right\" style=\" \"><div class=\"ult-overlay-close-inside\">Close<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1504273844287{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_raw_html]JTNDaW1nJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZsZWFkZXJzYXdhcmQuY29tJTJGd3AtY29udGVudCUyRnVwbG9hZHMlMkYyMDE3JTJGMDglMkZmcmVkLXlvdW5nLnBuZyUyMiUyMG9ubW91c2VvdmVyJTNEJTIydGhpcy5zcmMlM0QlMjdodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRmxlYWRlcnNhd2FyZC5jb20lMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMTclMkYwOCUyRmZyZWQtb2xkLnBuZyUyNyUyMiUyMG9ubW91c2VvdXQlM0QlMjJ0aGlzLnNyYyUzRCUyN2h0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGbGVhZGVyc2F3YXJkLmNvbSUyRndwLWNvbnRlbnQlMkZ1cGxvYWRzJTJGMjAxNyUyRjA4JTJGZnJlZC15b3VuZy5wbmclMjclMjIlMjAlMkYlM0U=[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1505645036491{padding-top: 110px !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Prof Fred Maillardet&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:32|text_align:left|color:%23e30e13|line_height:1.2&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Damion%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1503398389636{margin-top: -30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;BSC PHD CENG FIMECHE FIMA MISPO FRSA&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:16|text_align:left|color:%23e30e13|line_height:1.2&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1503398408282{margin-top: -30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Mechanical Engineer&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:16|text_align:left|color:%23e30e13|line_height:1.2&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal&#8221;]<div id=\"modal-trg-txt-wrap-8206\" class=\"ult-modal-input-wrapper ult-adjust-bottom-margin    \" data-keypress-control=\"keypress-control-enable\" data-overlay-control=\"overlay-control-enable\"><button  data-ultimate-target='#modal-trg-txt-wrap-8206 .btn-modal'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"background:#e30e13;border-color:#e30e13;color:#FFFFFF; \" data-class-id=\"content-668f8141ecc3e3-61852374\" class=\"btn-modal ult-responsive btn-primary btn-modal-sm overlay-show ult-align-left btn-id-668f8141ecc3e3-61852374\" data-overlay-class=\"overlay-slideright\">Read about Fred<\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"ult-overlay content-668f8141ecc3e3-61852374 \" data-class=\"content-668f8141ecc3e3-61852374\" id=\"button-click-overlay\" style=\"background:rgba(227,14,19,0.8); display:none;\">\n\t<div class=\"ult_modal ult-fade ult-small\">\n\t\t<div id=\"ult-modal-wrap-458\" class=\"ult_modal-content ult-hide\" style=\"border-style:solid;border-width:2px;border-radius:0px;border-color:#e30e13;\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ult_modal-header\" style=\"background:#e0e0e0;color:#333333;border-color:#e30e13;\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-458 .ult_modal-title'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-title ult-responsive\">Professor Fred Maillardet, BSC PHD CENG FIMECHE FIMA MISPO FRSA, Mechanical Engineer<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-458 .ult_modal-body'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-body ult-responsive ult-html\" style=\"background:#ffffff;\">\n\t\t\t<strong>Fred was Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and then Dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Brighton, retiring from this post in 2003.

His first degree was in Mechanical engineering and his PhD in the analysis of muscle action during walking and the design of artificial limbs. Following experience as a Design Engineer in industry working on the design of large structures in the marine and nuclear fields, he entered Higher Education to teach Engineering Design. He became Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and then Dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Brighton, retiring from this post in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>He served on the Engineering Professors\u2019 Council for many years, becoming President for 2003-05. Fred chaired the IMechE Education and Training Committee and the subsequent Formation Task Force and Qualifications Development Board for 15 years and was actively involved in the Accreditation of engineering degree courses for more than 30 years. He currently chairs the IMechE Education Advisory Group. Fred was joint grant holder on a major Economic and Social Research Council Teaching and Learning Research Project from 2001 to 2005 studying how and what learning took place among engineers during their first three years of postgraduate employment. This study revealed significant shortcomings in the development and support of many graduates.<\/p>\n<p>Fred established the Brighton and District Remap panel in 1976. This national organisation exists to design and build bespoke aids to help the physically disabled achieve greater independence. Fred currently chairs the Brighton panel and is a Trustee and Vice-Chairman of the national organisation. His other passion in retirement is helping to restore Oldland Windmill, an 18th century post mill in Sussex, where he is Chairman of the charitable trust.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"ult-overlay-close top-right\" style=\" \"><div class=\"ult-overlay-close-inside\">Close<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm&#8221;][vc_raw_html css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1618428444356{padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221;]JTNDaW1nJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZsZWFkZXJzYXdhcmQuY29tJTJGd3AtY29udGVudCUyRnVwbG9hZHMlMkYyMDIxJTJGMDQlMkZwYXVsLXNoZWVyaW4teW91bmctbGEucG5nJTIyJTIwb25tb3VzZW92ZXIlM0QlMjJ0aGlzLnNyYyUzRCUyN2h0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGbGVhZGVyc2F3YXJkLmNvbSUyRndwLWNvbnRlbnQlMkZ1cGxvYWRzJTJGMjAyMSUyRjA0JTJGcGF1bC1zaGVlcmluLW5vdy1sYS5wbmclMjclMjIlMjBvbm1vdXNlb3V0JTNEJTIydGhpcy5zcmMlM0QlMjdodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRmxlYWRlcnNhd2FyZC5jb20lMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjElMkYwNCUyRnBhdWwtc2hlZXJpbi15b3VuZy1sYS5wbmclMjclMjIlMjAlMkYlM0U=[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1505645103476{padding-top: 20px !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Paul Sheerin&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:32|text_align:center|color:%23e30e13|line_height:1.2&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Damion%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1618428308969{margin-top: -30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Chief Executive at Scottish Engineering&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:16|text_align:center|color:%23e30e13|line_height:1.2&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1618428323092{margin-top: -30px !important;}&#8221;]<div id=\"modal-trg-txt-wrap-6925\" class=\"ult-modal-input-wrapper ult-adjust-bottom-margin    \" data-keypress-control=\"keypress-control-enable\" data-overlay-control=\"overlay-control-enable\"><button  data-ultimate-target='#modal-trg-txt-wrap-6925 .btn-modal'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"background:#e30e13;border-color:#e30e13;color:#FFFFFF; \" data-class-id=\"content-668f8141ecd322-76548476\" class=\"btn-modal ult-responsive btn-primary btn-modal-sm overlay-show ult-align-center btn-id-668f8141ecd322-76548476\" data-overlay-class=\"overlay-slideright\">Read about Paul<\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"ult-overlay content-668f8141ecd322-76548476 \" data-class=\"content-668f8141ecd322-76548476\" id=\"button-click-overlay\" style=\"background:rgba(227,14,19,0.8); display:none;\">\n\t<div class=\"ult_modal ult-fade ult-small\">\n\t\t<div id=\"ult-modal-wrap-4457\" class=\"ult_modal-content ult-hide\" style=\"border-style:solid;border-width:2px;border-radius:0px;border-color:#e30e13;\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ult_modal-header\" style=\"background:#e0e0e0;color:#333333;border-color:#e30e13;\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-4457 .ult_modal-title'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-title ult-responsive\">Paul Sheerin, Chief Executive at Scottish Engineering<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-4457 .ult_modal-body'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-body ult-responsive ult-html\" style=\"background:#ffffff;\">\n\t\t\tI attended Miller Academy primary school in the frozen north (Thurso) and the distinct memories I have from there were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Being hit on the back of the hand by a ruler in primary 3 for having terrible handwriting (to be fair it still is atrocious)<\/li>\n<li>Being given the tawse (belt) along with every other boy in my class for \u2018exceptionally bad behaviour whilst taking part in Scottish Country Dancing lessons\u2019.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>From as early as I can remember I was clear on my career choice: I wanted to study medicine and become a GP.

From a very early age \u2013 maybe 6 or 7 \u2013 I used to work with my grandad in his forge that he had in the back yard in Sunderland. Horse-shoes, pokers and small shovels were my speciality!

From a very early age \u2013 maybe 6 or 7 \u2013 I used to work with my grandad in his forge that he had in the back yard in Sunderland. Horse-shoes, pokers and small shovels were my speciality!

Carol Anne laughs when she talks about her school reports saying that she was always described by her teachers as studious and a hard worker, albeit easily distracted, and says that some of her colleagues may say nothing has changed!\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"ult-overlay-close top-right\" style=\"width:80px;height:80px; \"><div class=\"ult-overlay-close-inside\">Close<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1504273851863{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1505645280935{padding-top: 125px !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Louise Fraser&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:32|text_align:left|color:%23e30e13|line_height:1.2&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Damion%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1618428941503{margin-top: -30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Head of Commercial at Babcock International&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:16|text_align:left|color:%23e30e13|line_height:1.2&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1618428971770{margin-top: -30px !important;}&#8221;]<div id=\"modal-trg-txt-wrap-3893\" class=\"ult-modal-input-wrapper ult-adjust-bottom-margin    \" data-keypress-control=\"keypress-control-enable\" data-overlay-control=\"overlay-control-enable\"><button  data-ultimate-target='#modal-trg-txt-wrap-3893 .btn-modal'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"background:#e30e13;border-color:#e30e13;color:#FFFFFF; \" data-class-id=\"content-668f8141ecff62-81149529\" class=\"btn-modal ult-responsive btn-primary btn-modal-sm overlay-show ult-align-left btn-id-668f8141ecff62-81149529\" data-overlay-class=\"overlay-slideright\">Read about Louise<\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"ult-overlay content-668f8141ecff62-81149529 \" data-class=\"content-668f8141ecff62-81149529\" id=\"button-click-overlay\" style=\"background:rgba(227,14,19,0.8); display:none;\">\n\t<div class=\"ult_modal ult-fade ult-small\">\n\t\t<div id=\"ult-modal-wrap-1452\" class=\"ult_modal-content ult-hide\" style=\"border-style:solid;border-width:2px;border-radius:0px;border-color:#e30e13;\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ult_modal-header\" style=\"background:#e0e0e0;color:#333333;border-color:#e30e13;\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-1452 .ult_modal-title'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-title ult-responsive\">Louise Fraser, Head of Commercial at Babcock International<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-1452 .ult_modal-body'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-body ult-responsive ult-html\" style=\"background:#ffffff;\">\n\t\t\t<strong>Louise is Head of Commercial in the Energy &amp; Marine Division of Babcock, currently deployed on the T31 programme to design &amp; build five frigates for the Royal Navy working alongside engineers, naval architects, detailed designers and craftsmen as well as a number of other professional support functions.

Its been really varied and I feel lucky to have worked across different parts of Scotland, different industries and to be deeply involved in helping develop future industries and jobs for Scotland such as space, aerospace, advanced engineering, data, agritech and precision medicine\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"ult-overlay-close top-right\" style=\"width:80px;height:80px; \"><div class=\"ult-overlay-close-inside\">Close<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1651777895819{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_raw_html]JTNDaW1nJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZsZWFkZXJzYXdhcmQuY29tJTJGd3AtY29udGVudCUyRnVwbG9hZHMlMkYyMDIyJTJGMDUlMkZDaGFybGVzLWxhLXlvdW5nLnBuZyUyMiUyMG9ubW91c2VvdmVyJTNEJTIydGhpcy5zcmMlM0QlMjdodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRmxlYWRlcnNhd2FyZC5jb20lMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjIlMkYwNSUyRkNoYXJsZXMtbGEtbm93LnBuZyUyNyUyMiUyMG9ubW91c2VvdXQlM0QlMjJ0aGlzLnNyYyUzRCUyN2h0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGbGVhZGVyc2F3YXJkLmNvbSUyRndwLWNvbnRlbnQlMkZ1cGxvYWRzJTJGMjAyMiUyRjA1JTJGQ2hhcmxlcy1sYS15b3VuZy5wbmclMjclMjIlMjAlMkYlM0U=[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1505645484414{padding-top: 135px !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Charles Wardman&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:32|text_align:left|color:%23e30e13|line_height:1.2&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Damion%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1651777937374{margin-top: -30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Chief Executive of West Lothian Chamber of Commerce&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:16|text_align:left|color:%23e30e13|line_height:1.2&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1651777964548{margin-top: -30px !important;}&#8221;]<div id=\"modal-trg-txt-wrap-1135\" class=\"ult-modal-input-wrapper ult-adjust-bottom-margin    \" data-keypress-control=\"keypress-control-enable\" data-overlay-control=\"overlay-control-enable\"><button  data-ultimate-target='#modal-trg-txt-wrap-1135 .btn-modal'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"background:#e30e13;border-color:#e30e13;color:#FFFFFF; \" data-class-id=\"content-668f8141ed3830-37039251\" class=\"btn-modal ult-responsive btn-primary btn-modal-sm overlay-show ult-align-left btn-id-668f8141ed3830-37039251\" data-overlay-class=\"overlay-slideright\">Read about Charles<\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"ult-overlay content-668f8141ed3830-37039251 \" data-class=\"content-668f8141ed3830-37039251\" id=\"button-click-overlay\" style=\"background:rgba(227,14,19,0.8); display:none;\">\n\t<div class=\"ult_modal ult-fade ult-small\">\n\t\t<div id=\"ult-modal-wrap-1197\" class=\"ult_modal-content ult-hide\" style=\"border-style:solid;border-width:2px;border-radius:0px;border-color:#e30e13;\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ult_modal-header\" style=\"background:#e0e0e0;color:#333333;border-color:#e30e13;\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-1197 .ult_modal-title'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-title ult-responsive\">Charles Wardman, Chief Executive of West Lothian Chamber of Commerce<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-1197 .ult_modal-body'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-body ult-responsive ult-html\" style=\"background:#ffffff;\">\n\t\t\t<strong>I\u2019ve always been fascinated with problems, the challenges they bring and the opportunities they present.

At secondary school, I knew I wanted to be in engineering and went down the route of a formal apprenticeship that provided me with the springboard for many happy years of employment and challenge in engineering positions.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"ult-overlay-close top-right\" style=\" \"><div class=\"ult-overlay-close-inside\">Close<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1503395673233{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_raw_html]JTNDaW1nJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZsZWFkZXJzYXdhcmQuY29tJTJGd3AtY29udGVudCUyRnVwbG9hZHMlMkYyMDE3JTJGMDglMkZwZXRlci1raWQucG5nJTIyJTIwb25tb3VzZW92ZXIlM0QlMjJ0aGlzLnNyYyUzRCUyN2h0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGbGVhZGVyc2F3YXJkLmNvbSUyRndwLWNvbnRlbnQlMkZ1cGxvYWRzJTJGMjAxNyUyRjA4JTJGcGV0ZXItb2xkLnBuZyUyNyUyMiUyMG9ubW91c2VvdXQlM0QlMjJ0aGlzLnNyYyUzRCUyN2h0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGbGVhZGVyc2F3YXJkLmNvbSUyRndwLWNvbnRlbnQlMkZ1cGxvYWRzJTJGMjAxNyUyRjA4JTJGcGV0ZXIta2lkLnBuZyUyNyUyMiUyMCUyRiUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1505646370025{padding-top: 100px !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Dr Peter T Hughes&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:32|text_align:left|color:%23e30e13|line_height:1.2&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Damion%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1503398075933{margin-top: -30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;OBE FRENG FRSE FIMMM FCMI FICME&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:16|text_align:left|color:%23e30e13|line_height:1.2&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1503398102913{margin-top: -30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Chairman of the Advisory Board, Primary Engineer&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:16|text_align:left|color:%23e30e13|line_height:1.2&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1503398242395{margin-top: px !important;}&#8221;]<div id=\"modal-trg-txt-wrap-3937\" class=\"ult-modal-input-wrapper ult-adjust-bottom-margin    \" data-keypress-control=\"keypress-control-enable\" data-overlay-control=\"overlay-control-enable\"><button  data-ultimate-target='#modal-trg-txt-wrap-3937 .btn-modal'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"background:#e30e13;border-color:#e30e13;color:#FFFFFF; \" data-class-id=\"content-668f8141ed5714-20740982\" class=\"btn-modal ult-responsive btn-primary btn-modal-sm overlay-show ult-align-left btn-id-668f8141ed5714-20740982\" data-overlay-class=\"overlay-slideleft\">Read about Peter<\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"ult-overlay content-668f8141ed5714-20740982 \" data-class=\"content-668f8141ed5714-20740982\" id=\"button-click-overlay\" style=\"background:rgba(227,14,19,0.8); display:none;\">\n\t<div class=\"ult_modal ult-fade ult-small\">\n\t\t<div id=\"ult-modal-wrap-7713\" class=\"ult_modal-content ult-hide\" style=\"border-style:solid;border-width:2px;border-radius:0px;border-color:#e30e13;\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ult_modal-header\" style=\"background:#e0e0e0;color:#333333;border-color:#e30e13;\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-7713 .ult_modal-title'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-title ult-responsive\">Peter T Hughs OBE FRENG FRSE FIMMM FCMI FICME, Chairman of the Advisory Board, Primary Engineer<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-7713 .ult_modal-body'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-body ult-responsive ult-html\" style=\"background:#ffffff;\">\n\t\t\t<strong>Former Chief Executive Scottish Engineering and Member of Court University of Strathclyde from 2003 until 2012.

David is a fellow of the IMechE and ASME and chaired Scottish Region 2008-2010. Specialist in the application of finite element computer modelling to a wide range of bio-mechanics problems including knee, hip, KAFO, AAA stents and hand and wrist with multiple bone \u2013ligament-muscle interaction. Also, experience of variety of structural materials including metals, shape memory alloys, ceramics, plastics and composite materials for use in a broad spectrum of applications.<\/p>\n<p>Management role in leading knowledge exchange and technology transfer across the Faculty and University and also in developing wider industry engagements. David was really, really keen on Thunderbirds when they first came out in the mid 1960\u2019s and got the full set of vehicles from Thunderbird 1-5 for Christmas one year. My favourite was Thunderbird 1 and I wanted to be Scott Tracey. Thunderbird 1 was a fast response rocket plane \u2013 it was hypersonic and had variable sweep wings \u2013 so that it could be a rocket and also fly with the manoeuvrability of a fighter plane.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s me with my pride and joy toys in 1965-6 in P2. I wish I had kept them in good order and in their original boxes, because they would have been worth a fortune now. But I didn\u2019t!

David attended Tarbolton Primary School then Mainholm Academy in Ayr. David studied Mechanical Engineering at Strathclyde University and worked in industry for several years before returning back to Strathclyde\u2026 to learn more about computer based design and analysis.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He worked in the area of pressure systems for 30 years. David is a fellow of the IMechE and ASME and chaired Scottish Region 2008-2010. Specialist in the application of finite element computer modelling to a wide range of bio-mechanics problems including knee, hip, KAFO, AAA stents and hand and wrist with multiple bone \u2013ligament-muscle interaction. Also, experience of variety of structural materials including metals, shape memory alloys, ceramics, plastics and composite materials for use in a broad spectrum of applications.<\/p>\n<p>Management role in leading knowledge exchange and technology transfer across the Faculty and University and also in developing wider industry engagements. David was really, really keen on Thunderbirds when they first came out in the mid 1960\u2019s and got the full set of vehicles from Thunderbird 1-5 for Christmas one year. My favourite was Thunderbird 1 and I wanted to be Scott Tracey. Thunderbird 1 was a fast response rocket plane \u2013 it was hypersonic and had variable sweep wings \u2013 so that it could be a rocket and also fly with the manoeuvrability of a fighter plane.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s me with my pride and joy toys in 1965-6 in P2. I wish I had kept them in good order and in their original boxes, because they would have been worth a fortune now. But I didn\u2019t! Still, I had great fun with them and it led in a small way to me being interested in engineering!!\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"ult-overlay-close top-right\" style=\" \"><div class=\"ult-overlay-close-inside\">Close<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;
