Steve Bagshaw chaired IChemE’s BioFutures Steering Committee
STEVE Bagshaw, a Fellow of IChemE, has been awarded a CBE in the New Year Honours List for his services to UK industry.
The CBE – or Commander of the Order of the British Empire – was awarded to Bagshaw for his services to the UK manufacturing and biotechnology sector. Bagshaw is Non-executive Chairman of contract development and manufacturing firm Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies and has been supporting the UK Government’s Vaccine Taskforce as an industrial advisor since April.
Bagshaw said: “It is meaningful that this recognition comes at a time when our UK and global biotechnology and manufacturing teams are working not only to develop and make the vaccines we all need but also the medicines, food, biochemicals, fuels and materials that will help us create a sustainable and healthy future for our planet.
