William Cook employee wins prestigious ICME award

The Jubilee Award, set up in 1977, is an annual prize given to a person aged under thirty two who has produced the best piece of development work in the ferrous foundry industry.

 

Josh started his career at William Cook Cast Products as a metallurgical apprentice before progressing to Laboratory Manager. He is now Senior Metallurgist at the company’s Sheffield site, focussing on quality assurance and oversight of weld procedures, process optimisation and the introduction of new products.

 

William Cook, Group Commercial Director, said: “Josh is a great asset to William Cook Cast Products. We are very proud of his progress and look forward to his continued development at our company.”

 

Josh said: “I am delighted and honoured to have my work recognised by receiving the prestigious Ironmongers Jubilee award.”

The ICME National Awards aim to ‘honour all those who have worked tirelessly for the benefit of the industry as well as those that have supported the Institute in various ways over many years.’ Early career professionals, apprentices and students are also awarded for ‘passion & commitment’ to the cast metals, foundry and patternmaking industry.

 

The ICME Awards & Fellows Lunch took place in June 2023 at the British Motor Museum, Warwick.
