President-elect looks to the challenge ahead.

Next month's Healthcare Estates conference and exhibition will see a new IHEEM President take up the reins, as Greg Markham, BEng (Hons) CEng FIHEEM MIET MBIFM, unusual in being one of very few private sector employees to have taken on the role (he is currently technical services director at G4S Integrated Services [UK]), succeeds Paul Kingsmore. HEJ editor, Jonathan Baillie, met Greg Markham in London to find out more about his professional background, career, and interests, talk through the key challenges he believes healthcare estates and engineering personnel will face as the NHS enters a new era, and discuss how he plans to use the experience and expertise gained during an extremely varied 25-year career in estates and facilities management and engineering--both within and outside healthcare--to good effect in the new role.
