John Walley, Chief Executive, Canterbury Manufacturers' Association,
will be elected a Fellow of The Institution of Professional Engineers
New Zealand (IPENZ) for his contribution to leadership in the profession
of engineering; specifically recognising his contributions to improving
the economic operating environment for manufacturing businesses.
After a successful career as a leading manager in the manufacturing sector

manufacturing businesses.
His passionate and persistent advocacy is assisting to create a policy
environment in which SMEs can grow and prosper through engagement in research
and development and intellectual property commercialisation. He holds

New Zealand as a whole, as the work of engineers’ impacts on New
Zealand society,” said IPENZ Chief Executive, Andrew Cleland.
