Engineers Dinner

The Engineers dinner was held on 11th May at the Bleeding Heart restaurant in London. 19 people attended the event including 3 aspiring engineers from the School. Over the past few years we have sought to balance the networking and reminiscing of OMs with careers awareness and information more relevant to budding engineers and those in the early stages of their careers.

This year we heard from two OMs at different stages of their careers who talked briefly about their experiences – Paul Winter from the perspective of an employer seeking engineering skills; Richard Amunugama as someone describing his engineering development journey thus far as he nears mid-career. The talks seemed to be well appreciated – see below for the dinner speech.

The event was also an opportunity for us to remember fondly and pay our respects to the memory of David Rodda who was one of the founders of the Engineers Dinner and organised it for many years.

David was a distinguished engineer and always enthusiastically supportive of the event and up and coming engineers.
