Just over a year ago we celebrated the Centenary of the IQ with the quarry garden at Chatsworth and July 2018 has seen another milestone for the Institute. Our colleagues in New Zealand are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year and I had the pleasure of attending their conference in Hamilton at the end of July to mark the occasion. It was a personal privilege to share in the celebrations and to see how much the Institute of Quarrying New Zealand has contributed to progressing the profession and the support it has from the industry at large there. It is also another reminder that we are a truly international organization, with Affiliated National Institutes and branches in five countries, and over 5,000 members working in more than 30 countries around the world. Through all of our networks our focus remains constant, to support the development of the highest standards of operation amongst our members and to promote the value they bring to the industry wherever they are located.
