Incoming IHE Junior Vice President confirmed
- Wednesday March 18, 2026
The next junior vice-president of the IHE will be Professor Pryce Evans FIHE. He was elected and confirmed at a recent IHE Council meeting and will step into the role at the AGM in July.
Since joining the Council in 2022, Pryce has contributed greatly to the work of the Institute. Whether engaging with prospective or existing members at events or presenting to students at universities, he wears the IHE badge with a strong sense of responsibility.
Having started his career in local government, he went on to lead multidisciplinary consultancy teams, which has given him a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by many of our members in their professional lives. Pryce is particularly proud to have progressed from a junior technician on day release to a leadership position within the profession, while also contributing to the development of future engineers through his long-standing work with Wolverhampton University.
Following his election, Pryce said: ‘I’m honoured to step into the role of junior vice president, and I look forward to supporting the IHE in helping our members reach their full potential through professional recognition and continued learning.
‘Promoting greater diversity within our profession and membership is essential. There should be no barriers to progression – whether related to ethnicity, gender, or neurodiversity – and I actively support this through my work in the UK, recruitment to our teams in India, and my teaching engagements in China. ‘Our profession is experiencing rapid change, driven by the climate
emergency and the accelerating pace of emerging technologies. I believe in the importance of the IHE’s role in ensuring our members are recognised as leaders in responding to these challenges. I commit to supporting the presidential team in delivering their vision and to serving you and our membership.’
IHE chief executive, Lyle Andrew, said: ‘I congratulate Pryce on his election to the junior vice-president position and look forward to working with him on the executive. He is always willing to volunteer for IHE representation and provides a rounded and calculated view when needed.’
