Goodbye to Rob Strange OBE



This week marks the end of an era for IOSH. Rob Strange OBE leaves the Institution after 12 years as Chief Executive, and 15 years at IOSH overall – he was originally the deputy CE to John Barrell.

In that time, the Institution gained its Royal Charter and attracted 15,000 new members to become the world’s largest professional body in health and safety. It established itself as the respected voice of the profession and strengthened its position as a market leader in training and events.

Rob has said that he would be the first to say that this success has been one big team effort, involving members, staff and friends of IOSH, but his leadership has made all of this possible.

On Wednesday 1 May, Jan Chmiel (say ‘Sha-Meal’) will become IOSH’s new chief executive. In the coming months, you will no doubt hear more from Jan about his vision for taking IOSH forward in SHP magazine and elsewhere.

Today, however, we hope you will join all of us at CRS in wishing Rob all the very best for the future.
