124th President of IMechE, Keith Millard
Keith Millard has just been announced as the 124th President of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. In his first interview in office, Keith sets out his presidential plan for the next twelve months, and confirms his commitment to continuing to raise the profile of mechanical engineering both in the UK and globally.
Everything that made Keith Millard successful in business he learned from being a trained engineer. He was the Deputy President of the Institution from 2007-2009, a member of the Trustee Board for five years, and Chairman of the Technical Strategy Board from 2006-2009. He was the founding Chairman of the Management Group, and Chairman of the Power Division from 1998-2001. He is currently Director and owner of Kea Management and Group Chairman of Vistage International. He has previously been Vice President, Parsons International and Business Development Director, Balfour Beatty International Construction. For 11 years he was Managing Director of Gilbert Associates.
It is entirely appropriate that as votes were being counted in this year’s Institution presidential election, there were big news stories about the environment, energy and transport, including the launch of a car scrappage scheme, approval for Cross Rail and measures to reduce vehicle carbon emissions in the US. All present key challenges and opportunities for engineering including this Institution and many of its members.
For Keith Millard, the Institution’s themes of energy, environment, education and transport are, and will continue to be important. He said: “The themes provide a focus for the creation of substantive facts and information on engineering which can be used by government for policy making. The theme activity has also helped to keep mechanical engineering firmly in the public eye. The report on climate change adaptation was particularly good in this respect and generated a lot of media interest.”
