Peter, who works as the Group Product Marketing Manager for Harsco, received the special award 鈥� which has only been presented to three people in 30 years - at PASMA鈥檚 Annual General Meeting in Haydock last month.
The award was presented by PASMA Chairman Roger Verallo, who described Peter as a 鈥榬eal gentleman of the industry鈥�.
Peter said: 鈥淚t has been very rewarding working on the PASMA Council. The training certification scheme is now one of the largest of its kind, and it is the most powerful voice on mobile tower safety in this country.
鈥淚 feel I have learnt an enormous amount over the years, and hopefully have made a useful contribution along the way. I wish them all good luck in the future.鈥�
Founded in 1974, PASMA is the recognised focus and authority for mobile access towers, promoting safety standards and best practice across a range of sectors and representing the interests of manufacturers, suppliers, specifiers and users.
