Chemistry's diversity

Last week, we received Dr Darren Budd, BASF Europe's commercial chemistry manager. One thing I picked out of Darren's excellent talk to our students was diversity within the chemical industry and news last week that the chemical giant Ineos is moving into the car industry after it's Mancunian founder Jim Ratcliffe announced it spied a gap in the 4x4 car industry by moving Ineos into creating the Land Rover Defender's successor is positive news for the British economy. In this post-Brexit 'doom and gloom' BBC inspired atmosphere, I did not spot this too much on news outets last week. Positive news sometimes is hard to find!
