Martin Riley and Kim Shilcock of Tarmac join Institute of Quarrying’s Board of Trustees

THE Institute of Quarrying has strengthened its Board of Trustees with the appointment of two new members – Tarmac senior vice-president Martin Riley and Tarmac quarry manager Kim Shilcock. 

Mr Riley (pictured) has more than 30 years’ experience in the construction and quarrying sectors, from his beginnings as an apprentice to general manager, executive director, managing director and board-level roles. His experience includes operational leadership of large-scale quarrying businesses and organizational change.

Mr Shilcock brings with him more than 40 years of quarry management experience through first-hand involvement in operator, supervisory and management roles across a variety of sites, including hardstone quarries, sand and gravel, wharves and limestone. He is a former chair of the IQ’s Derbyshire branch, in which he continues to play a key role.

IQ Chairman Dr Miles Watkins said: ‘Diversity of experience across our board members is important for the Institute to grow and prosper for its members. Within that, direct sector experience in both executive and operational capacities is vital to ensure the relevance of our efforts. I am delighted to welcome Martin and Kim to join me and the other board members to steer the Institute toward a very bright future.’

The current IQ board members consist of: Miles Watkins (Chairman); Anthony Morgan (President); Phil Redmond (Deputy Chairman); Ben Williams; Colin Jenkins; Craig Griffiths; Kevin Gough; and Alan Connolly.
