Alan Watts, Chairman of IEE Northern Ireland and Yelo's Marketing Director, extended the invitation to visit Yelo.
"I was delighted that Dr Kennedy was able to visit us.
As an engineering employer, Yelo acknowledges the important role of the IEE." At the Dinner, attended by many local businessmen, Alan Watts spoke of the growing shortage of valuable engineers as the 'peace dividend' bites and inward investment continues.
"In Yelo we pay our staff's institution subscriptions, encourage them to keep training and get involved in skills building IEE events.
How many companies pay a bonus or provide any official recognition when staff become Chartered or move to being a Fellow? We do all this in our company, not out of any feeling of duty to the IEE, but out of hard, cold, commercial reality.
" Alan concluded by saying, "Show your engineers that you really value them, that you will treat them right.
Because if you don't - someone else very quickly will".
The other speakers at the dinner were Dr Kennedy and Claire Curtis- Thomas, MP for Crosby who is unofficially known as 'the MP for Engineering'.
