From 1 January, Steve Edgar, a Director of Vertase FLI, succeeded Mike Summersgill as the Chairman of CL:AIRE's Technology and Research Group (TRG) after Mike's three year tenure. The TRG provides independent strategic peer review, support and technical steering functions in support of CL:AIRE’s activities.
At Vertase FLI, Steve guides the remediation team through the more challenging remediation sites the UK has to offer. He initially cut his teeth as a geologist for a consultancy working on a variety of remediation projects in the nineties during the founding years of the remediation industry.
He has spent most of his career in remediation contracting, designing and implementing in situ and ex situ remediation projects on sites ranging in size and complexity from petrol forecourts to tar and chemical processing plants.
Steve has tackled some of the trickiest sites remediation wise, in the UK and for some of the most demanding clients. Professionally he has a passion for good science coupled with practicality which stands him and Vertase FLI in good stead within the industry.
