AFTER 40 years with on-board weighing scales and forklift scales specialist, RDS Technology, Richard Danby (pictured above) is retiring as MD.

AMEC strengthens European waste team
AMEC HAS strengthened its European waste consultancy team with the appointment of Geoff Price and David Chance as technical directors in its environment & infrastructure Europe business. Both join from the waste and

as a mechanical engineer in power generation, oil and gas, and petrochemicals, and latterly energy from waste and sludge treatment. His most recent role was as projects engineering director for Covanta’s energy from waste activities. Chance is a chemical engineer
