It was a great pleasure to be invited to the Worshipful
Company of Plumbers’ annual lecture and dinner at the Royal College of
Physicians. The lecture, entitled “Good morning do you wish to see a Doctor or
a Plumber?” was given by Professor Mala Rao of Imperial College, London and
covered the global challenges of water scarcity, water quality, extreme weather
events and water conservation, subjects of particular interest to me and of
considerable relevance to our Company. Mala’s
presentation is available to view on the Plumber’s website (www.plumberscompany.org.uk). The
issue of desalination allowed me to answer a question and I went on to speak
about water conservation issues. From comments afterwards this appears to have
gone down well!
I was hosted during the evening by Fiona Woolf and it was
good to meet with a number of members of the Plumbers’ Company with whom I had
considerable contact during my time in the Water Directorate of what was then
the DETR and later as a consultant.
It was a privilege to sit on the Master Plumber’s table
between his Consort and the Chief Executive of Wateraid. Very interesting company, an enjoyable meal
and excellent wines. My thanks to the Master Plumber for allowing me to be part
of a highly interesting and enjoyable evening.
That is really nice to hear. thank you for the update and good luck.
