At the end of this steeltalk, participants will be able to:
- Explain the concept of modular construction and its benefits in urban development.
- Evaluate the role of stainless steel in improving durability, sustainability, and recyclability in modular structures.
- Compare modular construction with traditional methods in terms of cost, time, and safety.
- Apply lifecycle costing principles to assess the long-term viability of modular stainless steel structures.

Tim was born and grew up in the home of UK stainless steelmaking, Sheffield. Whilst at school he worked part-time for his father making steelworks thermocouples and laboratory furnaces. After leaving school he studied metallurgy at university and joined British Steel Stainless immediately after graduating. A succession of industry mergers saw Tim undertaking senior stainless technical, operations and supply chain roles in the Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK before joining the ISSF (now worldstainless) in August 2019. During his career Tim also found time to study Goldratt’s teaching on lean flow and operations, gain a postgraduate diploma in operations and inventory management and a masters degree in business administration. Away from work Tim still supports his boyhood football club, Sheffield Wednesday and enjoys rock music, cycling, fine wines and craft ales. |
