Welcome to the Western Region

The Region covers the five Areas listed below (with Chairmen):

In addition there are Young Member Panels centred around Bristol and Plymouth. There are also three Divisional Centres for those with specialist interests in the Aerospace, Automobile and Railway industries.

Western Young Members (Bristol) - Tom Knight (Secretary)
Devon & Cornwall Young Members - Andy Bevan
Aerospace - Martin Soltau
Automobile - Chris Brace
Railway - Andrew Skinner

The Region is supported by a professional Regional Manager, Alan King.

If you click on the Events link you will find information about forthcoming events in the Region. Similarly information about events and contacts for each Area or Panel is provided in their respective pages.

The overall programme for the Region aims to provide a mixture of learned society activities including prestige lectures, talks on popular subjects, visits to industrial organisations, aspects of Continuing Professional Development, student prizes and social functions.

Details of the programme, typically comprising around 90 events organised by the Region, Areas, Young Member Panels and Divisional Centres, are printed on a single card, which is sent to all our members during September each year via an insert in Professional Engineering.

I believe it is important that the members in our Region are properly supported, if you would like to discuss any of the above please feel free to contact me, or any of the Area, Panel or Centre Chairmen.
