Overview

Join us for the Milton Keynes Member Group annual meeting and a technical talk by Mark Apsey, 'History, Science and Engineering for a sustainable future'.

Mark will ask the profession to consider how it can continue to make a difference for the better and lead the way to a sustainable world, as well as setting out his intention to use IChemE’s convening power to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Speaker

Mark Apsey, Senior Vice President, Ameresco

Mark completed his Master of Engineering degree in Chemical and Process Engineering with 1st Class Honours from the University of Exeter in 1999. After University, he started his career at WS Atkins working on carbon dioxide recovery in breweries before joining GlaxoSmithKline in 2001 where he was responsible for primary API manufacture, pilot plant operations and solvent recovery during his 6 years of service.

In 2007, he returned to Atkins as a Senior Engineer working on upstream oil and gas and offshore wind projects. He joined Energyexcel in 2009, a start-up focused on energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions, and became Technical Director before the company’s sale to Ameresco in 2014.

Mark has been actively involved in volunteering for IChemE since joining as an undergraduate. He joined the Energy Centre in 2016 and led the working group to publish our Energy and Resource Efficiency Guide. In 2019 he became Chair, overseeing the transition to a Community of Practice and leading the development of IChemE’s first Climate Change Position statement.

In 2020 he was awarded an MBE for services to sustainable energy.
