This will be my last Chairman’s commentary for the ICE NI website as your Chairman, with only one month to go until Professor David Cleland takes over the reins. The Annual Report will be delivered to you shortly, highlighting what has been a very busy and productive year. My sincere thanks go to all of you for being so supportive during my year and, as I prepare to join the ranks of the exclusive past-Chairman’s ‘club’, I look forward to the ICE NI going from strength to strength in the capable hands of our incoming Chairman and vice-Chairmen, and our superb Regional Support Team.
