Nick Richardson TPP, a Projects Director with Mott MacDonald and a TPS Director, has been appointed Chair of the TPP Professional Standards Committee for the next two years. Consisting of four members nominated by TPS and four nominated by CIHT, the TPP Professional Standards Committee is responsible for defining the requirements for the TPP as well as its award. The role of Chair is held by a committee member nominated alternately by TPS and CIHT.

Nick said “This is a challenging time to be taking over from Sheila Holden TPP, as we consider the implications of survey research we have undertaken recently. We will be looking at the requirements, the way we present them and the mentoring assistance available to candidates and potential candidates. It is very clear that in its first four years, the TPP has become widely recognised but now is a very good time to think about what changes might be sensible.”
