Mr Javaid added: “In my role as chairman, I aim to continue to raise the profile of SPE in the local energy community and highlight the excellent technical prog-rammes that we offer I also want to ensure, with the help of our career’s guidance committee, that we continue to provide a lot of support to north-east schools in order to promote the energy industry as a potential career path for the pupils. Through our student development committee, we will ensure that we maintain excellent links with local universities by providing scholarships for students and support local SPE students’ chapter in any events that they may organise.”
