The Board of Trustees is the governing body of IChemE and therefore members appointed to the Board are responsible for ensuring IChemE complies with its charitable obligations and setting the strategic direction.

Detailed below are the list of retiring members of the Board of Trustees.

Retiring Board Members

In accordance with Regulation 1.A.33, not later than eleven weeks before each Annual General Meeting (AGM), the Board of Trustees is required to send a list of the retiring members of the Board to each Voting Member who is entitled to vote. This list was sent out on 11 February 2025 and nominations invited for vacant posts.

The office of President and Past President retire annually but are succeeded in accordance with the By-laws by the Deputy President and President, respectively.

The list of those Trustees retiring from service on the Board at the 2025 AGM is:

• Mr Nigel Hirst (Immediate Past President)
• Dr David Edwards (Treasurer)
