On 14 April 2007 we were pleased to welcome the then President of The Institution of Civil Engineers, Colin Clinton, to our Kendal Office. Colin performed the official opening of our new office, and then went on to deliver his Presidents Question Time, an interactive session to bring to the members his views on modernising the Institution, raising the profile of Civil Engineering to the public and media, and also as an exciting and rewarding career opportunity.
