EXTENDING CONNECTIONS


Rod Young, Immediate Past Chair of the British Tunnelling Society, reflects on his tenure over 2022-24


INTRODUCTION In 2022, Rod Young was appointed as the Chair of the British Tunnelling Society (BTS). Soon after commencing his tenure, T&TI engaged in a profile interview with him to discuss his aspirations and objectives for the organisation. Subsequently, after completion of his tenure, we sought his insights and reflections on the accomplishments achieved and the remaining challenges. Rod discusses his time as BTS Chair below.


TENURE AS BTS CHAIR My two years as BTS Chair passed swiftly. Initially, I was immersed in the process of taking over, and now, I have now passed the baton. Some of the objectives I set out to achieve have been realised; others remain and are ongoing.
