THE Mineral Products Qualifications Council (MPQC) board has announced the appointment of John Wilkinson as chief executive officer of MPQC, with effect from 9 December 2015.
Mr Wilkinson has worked within the mineral products sector for his entire career and has previously had close links to MPQC and its precursors. He also brings with him a wealth of managerial experience gained during his previous appointments, both in the UK and internationally, prior to becoming a consultant.
