• Aspirations and Challenges, Worshipful Company of Plumbers Conference 2011, 13 January 2011, Royal College of Physicians in London. The conference was to hear from the various bodies representing the industry to outline their aspirations for the next 10 years. The well attended event was chaired by the current Master of the WCP, Chris Sneath, Hon Fellow SoPHE. Following the conference, there was a consensus that there was a need for the various industry bodies to act as one where common interest arose. To that end, it was agreed that a meeting would be set up to explore this concept further with a view to set up an industry forum. The speakers for this event were Robert Burgon, Director and Secretary (SNIPEF Blane Judd, Chief Executive), CIPHE John Thompson, (Technical Services Manager, APHC Robert Higgs, Chief Executive), HVCA Martin Shouler, (Immediate Past Chairman SoPHE)
