The CeeD Board
The CeeD Board is comprised of representatives of our founding partners who give up their time to ensure that CeeD continues to develop in a strong and stable environment, staying true to its original ethos of sharing knowledge and experience to improve business performance.
Ian Dodd, Chairman
During an 8-year tenure with Alfred McAlpine Business Services (AMBS) in Tannochside, Ian served as the Director of Property Services and also looked after a £100 million business in his role as Corporate Services Managing Director. An engineer by training, he spent many years working at BP, including a lengthy stint at BP Norway working offshore as BP's representative on several oil platform construction projects. He has also spent time heading up National Australia's estate including branches, head office and various data centres. Of his non-executive role with CeeD, Ian comments, "I find the role provides me with many opportunities to give something back through helping other businesses to improve their bottom line capability"
Following the purchase of AMBS by Carillion plc, Ian continues to be very active in the field of commercial property, facilities management and business re-engineering and has used his experience and expertise to help several CeeD companies including Datec Technologies, Henry Technologies, James G Carrick Ltd, Reekie Machining, Star Refrigeration and Teknek with their property / facilities issues. And of course as CeeD members, Ian is happy to give (and continue to give) these companies the benefit of his circa 40 years' experience in the field - absolutely free.

Ian Polonis, Engineering Equipment Manager, National Semiconductor (U.K.) Ltd
With 20 years under his belt, Ian could be considered a veteran of the semiconductor industry in Scotland. A graduate of electrical and electronic engineering, he leads National Semiconductor's maintenance group and manages associated support contracts within a multi-million pound budget. Along the way, he has amassed skill sets in lean manufacturing, TPM and Kepner Tregoe and has project managed several key operational moves and equipment installations for NatSemi.
Ian has been helping to steer CeeD via his Board participation for 3 years. Starting out as an apprentice himself, he's passionate about encouraging more young people into an engineering based career so it's perhaps unsurprising that he heads up the Modern Apprenticeship Passport and Training Clinic for CeeD. Both Ian and National Semiconductor are keen to further develop collaboration between member organisations through the free-flow of training materials, courses and associated expertise around the CeeD community.
Douglas Rushforth, Director of Plant & Services, Babcock Rail Ltd
Douglas has had a long affiliation with the rail industry spanning 28 years. In his current role as the Director of Plant and Services, he has responsibility for the delivery of highly specialist plant and machinery for the renewal and maintenance of rail infrastructure throughout the UK. He also manages the procurement of all affiliated external plant services to deliver an all encompassing solution.
His career began with British Rail, where his civil engineering background and project management skills were used to the full in the renewal and maintenance of rail and bridge infrastructure across a wide range of the business.
At the time of rail privatisation, he held the position of SQE manager and was instrumental in setting up the safety management, quality and environmental functions for the new First Engineering organisation.
For a period of time thereafter he managed a Major Projects division, delivering investment renewals and major schemes for the upgrading of existing facilities and infrastructure and the construction of new rail linked projects across the country.
