Staff Boost<br />
The workload associated with running the Institution<br />
and its related activities has grown significantly in<br />
recent times, especially with respect to Licensing and<br />
Training & Development. In the September edition of<br />
<strong>IRSE</strong> NEWS we welcomed Derek Edney as our new<br />
part-time Membership Manager.<br />
Three other new staff have joined the organisation<br />
to undertake specific roles. Gordon Thorne, who has<br />
a mechanical engineering background, is working as<br />
a Licensing Assistant, reporting to the Licensing<br />
Registrar, Mark Watson-Walker. The role is helping<br />
with the running of the scheme which has seen an<br />
increase in the number of technicians and engineers<br />
seeking licences. This is due to the growing emphasis<br />
placed on competence demonstration and also<br />
due to the renewals<br />
now taking place of<br />
original licences<br />
issued five years ago.<br />
