Paul Eagle, Executive Board Technical Director at Dalkia UK, has been appointed as The Building Engineering Services Association’s new Technical Committee Chair.
Paul succeeds Kevin Morrissey, now The Building Engineering Services Association’s (BESA) Director of Technical.
BESA’s Technical Committee focuses on regulator change, technical guidance and standards. The body creates technical publications with input from BESA members and industry stakeholders.
Having held several engineering and technical leadership roles, Paul’s in-depth sector knowledge and 25 years of experience will aid BESA at a time of rapid regulatory and technological change such as planning reform, data centre infrastructure and skills shortages.
As well as his current position at BESA member Dalkia, Paul is a Chartered Manager and Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute (CMgr FCMI), and a member of both the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (MCIBSE) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (MIET)
Welcoming his successor, Kevin Morrissey said, “Serving as Chair of the BESA Technical Committee has been a rewarding experience, and I am confident that Paul Eagle’s leadership will further enhance our technical initiatives. His deep industry knowledge and dedication to excellence will undoubtedly benefit BESA and its members.”
Paul Eagle added, “I am honoured to take on the role of Chair of the BESA Technical Committee. Building upon the solid foundation established by Kevin, I look forward to collaborating with industry professionals to drive innovation, uphold high standards, and address the evolving challenges in building engineering services.”
