We are devastated by the passing in August of our much-loved, respected and admired Managing Director Neil Redman.
Many of you knew him personally and will also be feeling the loss. The entire team have been deeply touched by the many heartfelt tributes that flooded in, including those of you who found us at the recent BASEM conference in Manchester, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.
Our monthly round-up has received many positive comments over the years, and Neil was delighted that it was so well received. It was always important to him that SEMPRIS delivered added value to you, our members, and we will of course continue this legacy. This edition combines some of the articles and content that came to our attention in August and September.
In memory of Neil Redman.
