During this period, the principal technical advisor at the SSAS has been Roger Crookes.
With over 40 year's experience of the steel industry, he has built up an extensive knowledge within the stainless steel industry.
Roger commented, "Providing advice on behalf of the BSSA has often been challenging, but always rewarding.
Of course, some of the enquiries can be 'routine' but there is always something new to look at in this very diverse field.
Although we don't claim to know all the answers [and never will!], the network of BSSA contacts is always willing to help".
The success of the SSAS prompted the launch in 2000 coincided with the redevelopment of the BSSA website, which was re-launched later that year, providing a complimentary advisory service offering a wide range of technical articles about stainless steel.
Over the years the website has been continually developed and updated to include nearly 200 technical articles and 90 publications, together with a comprehensive BSSA members, products and services locator.
The SSAS is open four days a week Monday through to Thursday from 0900 to 1600.
