Richard Ward, a lawyer and partner at Eversheds, co-opted to the BSI, started the session with an overview of BS8534 from its early roots through to its function as a supply chain tool. 
This was followed by David Hutchinson, past VP if ICE now with Parsons Brinckerhoff, who described how he was 'roped in' to working with the BSI. He noted that for him the main targets were cost, time & performance though many other aspects of import were included such as HSE. All in all a very interesting, informative session with plenty of questions and topics for discussion over a glass or two of wine afterwards!
