Edited by the Processingtalk editorial team Sep 28, 2007

Previously employed as Commercial Director at FMA Process Engineering, Terry Clough, 54, has succeeded Derek Olsen as Managing Director at the Lichfield-based company

With over 30 years' expertise of liquid processing - and almost 20 years spent delivering capital projects, and the highest levels of process data control to customers across the brewery, dairy and food industries - Terry is renowned for his meticulous approach to detail and his considerable knowledge of process engineering.

Established in 1981, FMA Process Engineering has a reputation for putting the customer first.

Therefore, when founder member, Derek Olsen, began planning for his retirement in Year 2000, he put in place a succession plan designed to ensure that customers would be fully up-to-speed with his intentions and have the confidence that it would be 'business as usual' following his departure.

Supporting Terry Clough on the FMA board are Paul Bunyan, Sales and Marketing Director, Geoff Fisher, Process Engineering Director and Dave Short, Systems Engineering Director.

Commented Terry Clough, "It is an honour to take over the reins at FMA.

Although Derek Olsen will clearly be a tough act to follow, through his considerable foresight, work and planning, I believe we are now in a superb position to assume the role of one of the country's leading project design, process control and management information technology specialists for numerous industrial sectors".

Since its creation in 1981, FMA has successfully undertaken numerous projects in the brewery, soft drinks, dairy and food manufacturing industries both at home and overseas.

As an ISO9001 accredited business and holders of the TickIT software and application-based standard, FMA are acutely aware of the need for quality in all aspects of system design and see their own internal standards and procedures covering the design, implementation, validation and testing of the systems they supply as a key differentiator for them as system integrators in the food and beverage market place.
