I am looking forward to this event.  Both John and Essam are experts in their field and I am proud to say that they are associates of mine in my role as visiting academic at Cranfield University.  They have a wealth of experience in the field of cost engineering with particular past focus in the areas of Product Service Systems (PSS), Integrated Vehicle Health Management Services (IVHM), Through-life Engineering Services, and the cost engineering issues therein.  This should be a very informative evening.
