Siemens is much more than Power in the UK. On the SME front I would suggest: Mr Alan Moore MD of National WInd Power (a subsidiary of National Power) or Dr Andrew Garrad MD of Garrad Hassan (UK wind energy consultancy with 45 staff) Please let me know if you are interested in either of these and I will call them to ensure they will devote the time to the TC which we need I think British Biogen may be a Trade Association but I am not sure. I would like us to be very clear on what we want from the Advisory Board. Certainly we need advice but we also want cash (i.e industrial support for projects PhD students etc). Therefore the Business Members need to have both the desire and ability to support us. I hope this is of use.
