commendation from one of our regular clients: Thanks
for this information. I will discuss your suggestion with ……………..
during their annual audit in November before committing to procedural
changes and acquisition of the reference. I should
also say that assistance given last year to help material enter landfill,
your recognised standards of work at site and peripheral work such as that

a recent site meeting. Kind
regards,
We have also been
approached to chair an International Conference on NORM
I am looking for a Chairman for
the NORM conference which I have produced. I was wondering whether you would
consider taking up this position or indeed whether you have any suggestions
as to who could take on that position.
I have attached the NORM
brochure for your perusal and I would be very grateful if you would be able
to let me know if you are able to participate.
Kind regards,
