Welcome to the Spring edition of Elements magazine.
Finally, the days are getting longer, and we are looking forward to being out and about and back together, as the last remnants of the COVID restrictions are lifted.
We’ve had some really interesting engagements with members over the last few weeks. Firstly, our HyNet project webinar, which was really well attended, gave
some interesting insights into progress made so far and the imminent impacts the work will have on our northwest business community. If you missed the webinar, but would like to hear a little more, turn to page 12, where Rachel Perry, the Project Manager gives an overview of the task in hand.
We also held our first face to face event of the year in Daresbury, in early March, for our breakfast briefing. There we welcomed four new members, Beamex,
Mettler-Toledo, Flexim and Holiferm who gave an overview of their services. If anyone would like more information, please do let me know.
Also in this issue, we await the judging on the Chemicals Northwest Awards for 2022, which you will remember are taking place at The Point, Lancashire County Cricket Club, Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester on the 24th March 2022. We are very much looking forward to welcoming many of our members to the event, which we hope will be really enjoyable.
Members have provided a range of articles and news stories for you for this issue, covering topics As diverse as recruiting the right skills for the move
towards a hydrogen economy, a focus on how to deal with ageing plant sustainably, the changing energy landscape as well as some heartening news, which sees students finally able to get back into the workplace to understand what opportunities exist for them post school. We hope you enjoy reading them.

Having kept up with all the latest members news and industry developments over the year it is good to be back promoting your achievements and being part of the vibrant chemical industry once again. I know it is a particularly difficult time for some with energy costs at record highs. And yet many report still being very busy with new projects and opportunities.
