Vol 31 - No 03 - May 2005 Member news: Viscount Nuffield Medal for Prominent IOM Member Mark Eaton, formally Chair of the London & Southern Branch and until recently the Director of the DTI’s Manufacturing Advisory Service in London and the South East, has been awarded the IEE’s prestigious Viscount Nuffield Medal for his contribution to UK manufacturing. Mark was nominated by individuals from the IMechE (Institute for Mechanical Engineers), DTI Small Business Service and private industry because he is passionate about promoting manufacturing best practice and his innovative thinking is based on a strong, practical manufacturing background. Believing strongly that the UK can continue to maintain a strong, competitive and wide ranging manufacturing presence, Mark is helping to realise this by introducing lean thinking and best practice awareness. Mark works tirelessly to encourage excellence in UK manufacturing, putting in a great deal of personal time helping kindred organisations. For example, he is an active member of the Institute of Operations Management, sits on the editorial panel for IEE's Manufacturing Engineer, has helped the IMechE with their Manufacturing Excellence awards and Manufacturing Industries division, and supports public bodies such as LDA, SEEDA, DTI, LSCs, and Business Links. Following the award, Mark has now established his own change management practice, Advance Projects, and is also a Director of Platinumlinks, both providing platforms for Mark to continue assisting trade associations, public bodies and private companies to design and manage high impact change programmes.
