Chartered scientist Malcolm Morris has received the Silver Medal Award from the British Coatings Federation (BCF) to recognise his long-standing service and leadership in the industry.
As an AMPP Level 3 senior coating inspector, he led the BCF Marine Coatings Group, then moved to chair the BCF High Performance Coatings Group, where he facilitated close partnerships with organisations, such as Highways England and Network Rail.
Within his career, Mr Morris managed teams responsible for pioneering coatings for projects such as the Forth Bridge and Cutty Sark.
He then provided technical support, training, and inspection expertise for more than two decades.
Mr Morris said: “I’m very honoured and flattered to receive the award and would like to thank all the many colleagues within my own employment, and the wider community, who have made my career in the coatings industry so fulfilling and enjoyable.
“We are lucky to be involved in such an important industry, and I appreciate the teamwork that helps us to face up to the many challenges that are presented to us all. We are all stronger by working together through the BCF to keep the coatings industry thriving.”
