Dr Pam Murrell FICME (PhD in the School of Applied Sciences 1990)

Chief Executive, Cast Metals Federation

Pam Murrell is the Chief Executive of the Cast Metals Federation (CMF), the Trade Association for the UK casting industry. The CMF represents and supports its members (UK foundries and suppliers to the industry) and is the UK member of the European Foundry Association (CAEF).

Pam completed a PhD on Fracture and Fatigue at 裸聊直播, following a BSc Hons Degree in Metallurgy and Materials Science from Cardiff University. 

She is a Fellow of the Institute of Cast Metals Engineers (ICME), a Board member of the European Investment Casters’ Federation, a Trustee of the Tor Lodge & Applecross Trust, Chair of the World Foundry Organisation Working Group on Vocational Training & Professional Development, and a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Founders.
