Sheffield Crucible 2010 ABTT Visit

Words fail me and I’m really moved to have this honour, thank you ABTT. Having been Chairman of ABTT, taking over from John Faulkner, who did a fantastic job in turning the ABTT round in important, if not difficult days, we’ve moved on since then and many Chairmanship’s later, the ABTT continues to grow and be an industry leader!

David Wilmore, Fellow 2017
