SUMMARY:Whitechapel Lecture – IPM Alan Hughes ‘English bells; the sound of castings’
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Founders’ online lecture series ‘Whitechapel Lectures: Promoting Knowledge in Materials and Their Impact on Our Lives’ \nFollowing his popular “gallop” through a millennium of bell history during the Covid-19 Lockdowns\, Alan Hughes returns to the Whitechapel series to shine a spotlight on the most transformative era in British bell founding. Alan will concentrate on the changes that took place\, predominantly in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries due in large part to the influences\, and in one case intervention\, of four individuals wholly unconnected with the bell founding industry: a printer\, an inventor\, a Peer of the Realm\, and a clergyman. Each one of them has left a lasting mark upon the bells that we hear and those still being produced. \nAbout the Speaker:\nAlan was educated at Christ’s Hospital\, where he was a Skinners’ Company Presentee.\nOn leaving school in 1966\, Alan immediately joined the family bell founding business. He worked his way up through the company\, working in the foundry\, bell frame fabrication shop\, blacksmiths shop\, with the site working team and in the drawing office\, whilst studying Foundry Technology at what is now the University of the South Bank (LSBU). He became a shareholder and was appointed a director in 1972\, becoming the 4th generation of the Hughes family to own the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.\nAlan joined the Founders Company in 2000. He has served on the Industry Committee and since 2019 has been Honorary Secretary of the Historical Group. Alan is the fourth owner of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry business to serve as Master of the Founders’ Company.\nAlan has been happily married to Kathryn for 39 years\, and they have worked together at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry for most of that time. They have two children\, Jennifer who is a pianist and Lizzie who is an HR Manager\, and three lovely grandchildren.

SUMMARY:Transforming the materials agenda for a sustainable planet: Opportunities and challenges
DESCRIPTION:Transforming the materials agenda for a sustainable planet: Opportunities and challenges\, part of the Founders’ Whitechapel Lectures on materials and their impact in our world.\nSpeaker: Professor Mark Jolly\, FIMMM\, FICME\, CEng\, CEnv \nProfessor of Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing at Cranfield University \nWe live in a materials world. Everything we use is made from materials extracted from the planet. Yet\, our current way of making and using most materials follows a linear model: take\, make\, and dispose. This unsustainable approach is pushing the planet’s limits—if our production and consumption behaviours remain unchanged\, we would need 2.75 worlds to meet our demands. But we only have one. To secure a sustainable future\, we must transition to a circular materials world\, where we minimise the extraction of raw materials and maximise the reuse\, remanufacturing\, and recycling of existing materials. Achieving this transformation requires innovations in mindsets\, technologies\, business models\, and systems. \nLink to lecture\nMark is Professor of Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing at Cranfield University. He has over 40 years’ experience in manufacturing and materials. He spent 13 years working in industry in automotive and tier 1&2 suppliers into manufacturing both in the UK and abroad before moving into academia in 1995. In 2012 he joined Cranfield after 17 years at the University of Birmingham. He has managed over £17.5 M of research projects since 1999 and has over 350 publications\, technical reports\, articles and books. He was Director of the UKRI Transforming the Foundation Industries Research and Innovation Hub (TransFIRe)\, and co-Director of the Engineering and Physical sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing which offers a triple degree with the Universities of Warwick and Exeter. Mark is on the Royal Academy of Engineering National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC) working group on Materials for Net-Zero and sits on the Advisory Board for the Advanced School on Circular Metal Components for the Swedish Manufacturing Industry (CIRCUMET). Until December 2024 Mark was also co-Director of the Circular Economy Network plus in Transport Systems (CENTS). Mark has sat on the EPSRC Peer Review College since 2003 and sits on the council of the Cast Metals Federation. He has been a reviewer of research programmes for the European Space Agency (ESA)\, Enterprise Ireland\, the Romanian Government and CSIR in South Africa.  \nMark is a Chartered Engineer (CEng) and Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) and sits on the Society for the Environment Honorary Fellows Panel. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Materials\, Minerals and Mining (IOM3)\, and is the chair of the Materials Processing and Manufacturing leadership group. He also sits on the IOM3 Sustainable Development and Light Metals leadership groups. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Cast Metals Engineers (ICME). Mark was Chair of the Solidification Committee of The Minerals\, Metals and Materials Society (TMS\, USA) for two years until 2018. He is a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Founders and Freeman of the City of London. \nWith his co-authors he is the recipient of the 2024 TMS Light Metals Warren Peterson Subject Award for Cast Shop for Aluminum Production with a the paper entitled “Defect Minimisation in Vacuum-Assisted Plaster Mould Investment Casting Through Simulation of High-Value Aluminium Alloy Components”. Mark was the recipient of the 2019 John Campbell Gold Medal awarded by ICME for “continual advancement in sustainable manufacturing and promotion of excellence in casting technologies”. He was the 2010 Winner of the University of Birmingham Josiah Mason Founder’s Award for Business Advancement and in 2008 was the recipient of the Oliver Stubbs Medal (ICME). \nHis main areas of current research are in circular economy and sustainability including resource efficient manufacturing\, process modelling and novel casting processes. He has worked with many well-known names across a number of sectors including Rolls-Royce\, Depuy-Synthes (Johnson & Johnson)\, Bentley\, Aston Martin\, BAES\, Finmeccanica\, GKN\, EnCirc360\, Kimberly-Clark Corporation\, Hanson Cement\, Constellium\, Siemens\, TPC AB\, Vesuvius\, St Gobain\, Luxfer\, Lucideon\, Pilkington Glass\, Trent Refractories\, and Coca-Cola. He has also championed working with many small companies especially SMEs who supply to large companies.
