“Having been a Member of IAgrE for approximately ten years, I wish to be more closely involved and take an active role in the activities of the Institution. I believe this is a great opportunity to give something back to the Institution for the support it has provided over the years (including through The Douglas Bomford Trust), and to the Agricultural Engineering profession more broadly. Should IAgrE members wish me to serve on the Advisory Council I would be honoured to use my international experience to assist in the future governance and management of the Institution”.
