CIBSE Patrons welcomes new Chair

CIBSE Patrons are pleased to announce David Fitzpatrick, Sales Director at Ruskin Air Management Ltd, as the group's new Chair from January 2013.

On taking up the position David said: ‘It is with considerable pride that I begin life as the latest chair of CIBSE Patrons. I am acutely aware of the excellent people who have held this post in the past and would first of all like to thank my predecessor Nick Mead for his unstinting efforts in the role for the last five years'.

He stated that he was looking forward to bringing different ideas and thoughts to the role and was struck by the depth and breadth of experience amongst the group.

‘Patrons' membership reflects the full building services engineering supply chain and, therefore, we have the ability to address the important issues of the day from all angles. In particular, our experience of training and in technical, commercial and site-based knowledge can be of great practical benefit to the Institution'.

David added he is making it his first priority to ensure that such experience is put to the best possible use by CIBSE.

Patrons Lunch 2012

The guest speaker at the Patrons lunch at the House of Lords on 24th April was Clive Betts MP, Chairman of the Commons Communities and Local Government select committee.

The committee has been undertaking an inquiry into the Building Regulations applying to electrical and gas installation, so Mr Betts comments were of considerable interest to Patrons and their guests. The parliamentary host for the Lunch was Lord O'Neill of Clackmannan.
