From: Mike Hulme To: Simon.Shackley@umist.ac.uk Subject: Re: industrial and commercial contacts Date: Mon Jan 10 17:01:32 2000 Simon, I have talked with Tim O'Riordan and others here today and Tim has a wealth of contacts he is prepared to help with. Four specific ones from Tim are: - Charlotte Grezo, BP Fuel Options (possibly on the Assessment Panel. She is also on the ESRC Research Priorities Board), but someone Tim can easily talk with. There are others in BP Tim knows too. - Richard Sykes, Head of Environment Division at Shell International - Chris Laing, Managing Director, Laing Construction (also maybe someone at Bovis) - ??, someone high-up in Unilever whose name escapes me. And then Simon Gerrard here in our Risk Unit suggested the following personal contacts: - ??, someone senior at AMEC Engineering in Yarmouth (involved with North Sea industry and wind energy) - Richard Powell, Director of the East of England Development Board You can add these to your list and I can ensure that Tim and Simon feed the right material through once finalised. I will phone tomorrow re. the texts.
