I knew being the Apprentice was going to involve getting to do some cool stuff, but the end of last week shadowing Mr G was something else.
Alun, Keith Jones and I got the train over to the big smoke on Thursday night (first class may I add!), ready for the ICE’s State of Nation Launch on Friday. We dropped our bags off at Mr Griffiths’ Chelsea crash pad (trust me – it ain’t too shabbby) and the Chairman kindly treated us to dinner and a fair few bottles of plonk in a posh Mayfair brasserie.
Friday morning and an early start for my first ever visit to One Great George Street. If the location, just round the corner from Liz’s house, wasn’t impressive enough - the grand hall certainly was. If you’re ever in London for any reason, I highly recommend waving your ICE membership card to get in and take a wander round, or have a coffee in the costa cafe.
The ‘Low Carbon Infrastructure’ report is the Institution’s guidance to our government policy makers, society and us as Engineers as to how we need to tackle this critical challenge ahead of us all. After reading his presidential address, seeing Paul Jowitt present the Report you could see he was passionate about it, and from talking to some of the other contributors to the report – so is the whole engineering community.
The seminar that followed discussed the topic of electric vehicles and their supporting infrastructure. I’d love to write more – but TopGear’s just starting and they’re building their own EV, so I think I better watch that as... research.......
