Manufacturing Matters - Presidential Address 2022
Dick Philbrick
I was distracted from a career as an engineer, but not as a manufacturer. I could not help but compare how farmers and their farm workers, in the Suffolk village where I was born, collaborated in hard work with the poor management, lousy productivity and working relations of the shipyard where I trained. There were numerous strikes, sabotage and demarcation disputes between unions, but excellent craft skills in the shipyard. I sought answers to the demise of UK manufacturing in other industries and countries.
“I hope the history of this product (ATMs) might help to convince some of our bright, imaginative, young people that Engineering is indeed the most creative and satisfying of professions, and that Scotland continues to play a leading role in innovation.”
James Goodfellow / Glasgow, 2016
