The Prain Medal for 2003 has been awarded by the Institute of Materials and the Copper Development Association, to John Halliday, Chairman of Meighs Ltd and Langley Alloys.
Mr Halliday has been chosen for the award for the support and direction he has provided to the Meighs technical team responsible for the continuing development of specialist copper alloys and stainless steels. These materials are used in engineering applications where high strength and resistance to corrosion are the prime requirements. The development of the Meighs/Langley range of alloys and the distinctive techniques required for their production has provided engineering solutions to the marine defence, offshore and aerospace industries.
