TRADA Technology has appointed Elizabeth Turner as university liaison manager, offering support to teaching staff and students at more than 200 universities delivering architecture, design and engineering courses in the UK.

Miss Turner, who will work closely with TRADA membership & marketing manager Rupert Scott, joined TRADA Technology as technical consultant in 2006.

Chief operating officer Jon Osborn said the university liaison programme, run by TRADA Technology on behalf of TRADA, was key to the strategic objectives of both organisations.

“Liz’s background and experience in lecturing and preparing lecture materials across a number of our core areas, combined with her practical timber knowledge and strong organisational skills, put her in an excellent position to deliver ongoing success in this area,” he said.
