Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Helen Stone Шаблон:Post-nominals [1] is an English civil engineer and has been managing director of WS Atkins Structural Engineering, which she joined in 1972.[2]
Early life
Helen Elizabeth Stone was born in February 1950.[3]
Education
She attended the North London Collegiate School[4] and was inspired to become a civil engineer through, in her own words, "a trip up the newly-opened M1 motorway when I was 10."[5] She studied civil engineering at the University of Birmingham, obtained chartered status,[4] and has worked on engineering projects including the Channel Tunnel, motorways, a theme park, a shopping centre, aircraft hangar and oil refinery.[4][5]
Career
In 1991 she became only the third woman to become a fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers[6] and in 2002 she was elected a fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering.[7] She is known for representing British engineering overseas,[4] and has a particular interest in representing the interests of women in engineering. In an interview conducted by the Daily Telegraph,[1] she shared her experience and asserted that in a wide range of countries, women were not being promoted to senior positions in engineering to the same extent as men. She chaired the Diversity Panel of the Construction Industry Council,[5] where she worked with professional bodies, research organisations, and specialist business associations in the UK construction industry. However, despite saying that "I am conscious that I have a responsibility to break down inappropriate barriers which prevent women engineers from making progress,"[2] she is not in favour of positive discrimination, believing that it could lead to a lowering of standards.[2]
She served for nine years as a governor at Cheltenham Ladies' College, and was later chair of governors at the North London Collegiate School for 10 years.[8]
She chaired the Ethics and Standards Board of the APM Group, an accreditation group.[9]
She has been a director of several organisations including the London Hostels Association[3] and the North London Collegiate School.[3]
