ICE North West's regional committee, branch committees and special interest groups in the region plan and organise how we support and share knowledge with ICE members.
ICE's work in the North West is carried out by the regional committee. It's made up of branch members and interest groups and is supported by the Regional Support Team. Committee members are volunteers and come from a range of backgrounds within the civil engineering profession.
