My very first job was with British Steel in R&D focusing on structural testing of a range of construction products i.e. cladding, lintels, and modular
I was supposed to be taking an early retirement from Tata and the current director (and founder) of the MCRMA was retiring due to ill health. When I was offered the opportunity, it was a no-brainer for me. I felt really privileged to be asked. I have always been in the industry, and I have naturally gained lots of connections, so it seemed like the perfect fit.
The role was an expansion of my earlier involvement with the MCRMA as a member and my experience involved in product and market development with a lot of the companies who were members of the MCRMA. I have not looked back since and this month marks 12 years of being in this role.
The association has grown and encompassed Independent Inspectors, System Installers, and Industry Support. The association has always had a strong technical focus, but it was recognised that there was a need to actively promote or commercialise the work to a wide specification sector. All our members bring so much value to the association and we are looking forward to the future.
The construction industry is becoming more integrated with a system approach and guarantees and warranties based on 3rd party assessment and the use of changing standards. The MCRMA offers members an opportunity to work together and with our involvement in national and international standards and connections at all levels the MCRMA can keep members abreast of ever-changing requirements.
