"We want to give back to the North West. I started off my career as a chemical engineer 25+ years ago here in the North West. This is a region which has supported and nurtured me across a variety of chemical companies. Having seen huge changes in the industry during this time, for the worse on the whole, our goal is to regenerate the area in jobs for future generations by stimulating interest in science at early formative years. Together we can do it."
