Alan Willoughby | NORAC
Alan was introduced to the asbestos industry in 2007 when he and Colette established Coal Consultants Ltd. Prior to this Alan had worked in the construction industry for just over 20 years. It was quite a bit of an eye opener to realise that the use of asbestos was still prevalent when his employment first started. Through Asbestos Compliance Limited Alan provides specialist advice to clients on how to comply with all aspects of current legislation and guidance. By being actively involved in NORAC it is the firm belief that this will improve the service that asbestos consultants provide.

EVENT DESCRIPTION
Linda Yueh confirmed as opening keynote speaker!

Leading economist and author of one of the The Times’s Best Business Books 2018 will open the April BSI Standards Conference.

 


 
The BSI Standards Conference is a showcase event for BSI as the National Standards Body for the UK and the best opportunity to learn about standards and the role they play in business, the economy and society.
 
The event is the perfect occasion to network with peers from across a number of industries, to make new connections and to keep up with current developments, and to learn more about some of BSI’s external partners.
 
Our Knowledge Marketplace will host a number of stands where our exhibitors will share their knowledge, expertise and experience about their industry and about their involvement in standards development.

Don't miss the chance to hear recognized leaders in our exciting and insightful keynote and plenary sessions and to meet our experts in our interactive breakout sessions. All of our sessions provide you with opportunities to ask questions and engage in the conversation but our breakout sessions allow you to help drive the discussion, guided by the insight and experience of an expert in the field.
