    The Social Mobility Foundation (SMF) is a charity that aims to make a practical improvement in social mobility for high-achieving young people from low-income backgrounds. With the help of professionals, we support young people every year, who have the ability to flourish in the top universities and professions but who lack the encouragement and networks to help them get there.

    Students start on the Aspiring Professionals Programme (APP) when they are 16/17 and in their first year of A-levels/S5. We aim to provide students with a real insight into top professions and to provide them with the skills needed to achieve their aspirations. We offer support to students through our four pillars:

    🔵 A mentor from their chosen profession
    🔵 Work placements
    🔵 University application advice
    🔵 Professional skills development sessions

    The mentoring support that is provided as part of the APP aims to provide practical support to help students reach the profession of their choice.

  • Performance Monitoring of an Offshore Gas Compressor

    Oil Information Technology Journal, Vol 12-No. 1, p.3.; Upstream Technology, Vol 2-No. 2, pp.11-13; What's New In Process Technology, Vol 20-No. 9, pp.18-19; Energize, Aug 2007,pp.44-46.; Oil&Gas Australia, Special European Offshore Update, 2007,pp.56-58.

    In a world where success and profit go hand-in-hand, oil and gas companies are pressured to meet production targets on a daily basis. Oil and gas production generates money and any downtime caused by equipment failure has the possibility of crippling a business. Any downtime is an issue in this industry but if underlying causes could be predicted and prevented before a system reached an unrecoverable stage, companies could save millions that would otherwise be lost revenue.
