It was a pleasure to welcome a delegation from the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE), including HKIE President Ir Prof Frank Chan, to CIBSE’s headquarters in London recently.
The visit included a President’s Talk Seminar, bringing together senior representatives from across the engineering profession to share their organisations’ priorities, experiences and plans, and to explore how greater collaboration can help move the industry forward.
We were delighted to be joined by:
🔹 Kate Carpenter, President, Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT)
🔹 Sam Hubbard, President, Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)
🔹 Ruth Shilston, Trustee, Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
🔹 Mike Burton, CIBSE 2026–27 President Elect
🔹 Ir Marsden Kong, Assistant Director, Hong Kong Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD)
🔹 Ir Prof Frank Chan, President, Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE)
The discussions highlighted the value of sharing knowledge and industry experience across disciplines and borders. As the engineering profession responds to increasingly complex challenges, collaboration between professional institutions has an important role to play in shaping a sustainable and resilient future.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, and particularly to our colleagues at HKIE for visiting CIBSE. We look forward to continuing to strengthen our international collaboration and shared commitment to engineering excellence.
