Sir Bill Callaghan becomes Chairman of BOHRF


BOHRF Sponsor List and Profile Growing

We are delighted to welcome E.ON as a corporate sponsor.  We have also heard verbally that a major multinational has agreed to become a sponsor.  Early in 2007 we welcomed Rolls Royce.  They join BP, Bevan Brittan, Carillion, IOSH, Johnson Matthey, MoD, QBE Insurance, Royal Mail Group, Rexam, Scottish & Newcastle, Scottish Power.

We do need more corporate sponsors and we are actively seeking to grow our sponsor base.  Although BOHRF is very much a going concern these days, the corporate world (and corporate budgets) is precarious because of merger activity and also because of the effects of some of the private equity companies, not to mention the insatiable appetite of “the city” for ever increasing profits.  The existence of a solid corporate sponsor base is critical to the BOHRF business model, and to our ability to continue to contribute robust evidence based research of direct practical application at work.

We are incredibly grateful to our current sponsors in supporting this work that really does “make a difference”. Despite pressures on corporate budgets, we are succeeding in continuing to grow our sponsor base. Our Corporate Sponsor, Bevan Brittan, found out about BOHRF by putting 'occupational health' into Google. Doing this on global Google setting finds that there are over 63,200,000 sites with occupational health. That is a lot of pages. Well, BOHRF is now on page one and, no, we have not paid to be there.

Another New Trustee

BOHRF is delighted to welcome another new Trustee to its Board. Professor David Coggon has joined the BOHRF Board.
