MHEA News
Individuals count MHEA announces a new membership category
Following ratification at the associations recently held AGM, MHEA is now offering Individual membership to those involved in the bulk handling industry, both UK and overseas.
President Brian Mackenzie commented: “Whilst we are a corporate organisation, and this should remain our core structure, many individual engineers in large companies, or who are employed in industries not primarily involved in bulk handling, are not in a position to influence their employer to join MHEA. Consequently these individuals are not able to join a professional body representing the industry they work in. Allowing them to join as individuals satisfied this need and at the same time strengthens MHEA.” The benefits in membership such as access to the technical database, visits to end users (such as the site visit to the British Sugar Factory at Wissington held following the AGM at the end of October), education, reduced prices for publications and attendance at the Bulk Handling Conference and the opportunity of networking with
colleagues from the same industry, can now be enjoyed by individuals.
For more information and to get an application form please contact the MHEA secretary Peter Webster on 01353 666298 or email

Bulk Handling Conference – MHEA calls for papers
Now in it’s 73rd year the MHEA has an enviable history in the heavy side of bulk handling with past and present involvement of some of the pivotal innovators in the field. To reflect changes in the nature of the industry in recent decades, a structural review has taken place resulting in a new, revised format of greater value, interest and relevance to our members and guests. The event, which takes place on the 11-12 May 2011, has moved to a highly attractive North Lincs location at the Forest Pines hotel which has superb facilities for business, conference and leisure. The timing has been amended to give a more balanced event over a Wednesday / Thursday, to allow time to travel on the Wednesday morning, and the option of a sports event /leisure break on the Friday. There will be keynote and plenary presentations, gala dinner and after dinner speaker. Accompanying the conference will be a related exhibition, integrated into the conference area. Opportunities are available for event and item sponsorship and outstanding opportunities for corporate entertainment and networking. Moving from a technical seminar to an inclusive conference has broadened the field to include all matters relating to bulk handling with a separate provision for commercial presentations.
