Jim makes it treble for Siemens
A rolling mill designer from Sheffield has won a prestigious award from the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining.
Jim Hogg, technical manager for the long products operations of Siemens VAI Metals Technologies, has been awarded the Insititue's Dowding Medal, which is presented in recognition of a major contribution to the invention, development or design of metallurgical plant leading to improved economy, yield or quality in metal production.
Mr Hogg joins two other Siemens employees to have received the Medal - Phil Round (2005) and Dr Nick Younger (1995).
Jim Hogg said: "I have always considered myself fortunate to have a job I thoroughly enjoy and has enabled me to see some great parts of the world. I feel very proud to have received this award."
Sheffield site director Jon Stewart said: "This is a great accolade for Jim and thoroughly deserved. He personifies professionalism in the rolling mill engineering field and in a career of nearly forty years has demonstrated an exemplary blend of creativity and practicality in both design and project execution."
Highlights during Jim Hogg's career include leading a project to build a rod mill at Tokyo Steel in 1995 which at that time was the fastest hot mill in the world and, more recently, leading the team enhancing primary and rail mills at Corus sites in South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
