 Jeremy was presented with the award by Chair of the MARQUES Council Gregor Versondert in recognition of his many years of service. He has been involved with the association in various capacities since it was founded in 1986.
Most recently, Jeremy set up and managed the Class 46 blog, as well as managing the MARQUES social media channels. He is now retiring from that role and looking forward to spending more time with his grandchildren! James Nurton, who many members will know as editor of Managing IP, will be the new Social Media Coordinator and Editor after Jeremy retires. He can be reached at editor@marques.org and is keen to hear from potential blog contributors as well as to receive general feedback on MARQUES communications.
