We are pleased to announce honorary memberships for Sam Franklin and Paul Bottomley.

Sam has delivered countless training days for the IRE without charge, he has kept the IRE engaging and has passed so much knowledge on to our engineers.

Paul was Chairman of the IRE for many years; he dedicated so much time and energy to keep things going and did so, particularly through years when support in general was low. His dedication is undoubtedly one of the main reasons the IRE exists today.

Both are invited to join us at the November conference in Sheffield to receive their awards.
