Vijay Raj, executive vice-president CMI at Unilever and Jan Gooding, former president of the MRS, were both awarded the fellowships at a ceremony on 10 June.

On receiving the fellowship Jan Gooding said: “I completed my term as president with a sense of enormous pride in everything I saw this vital organisation achieve, but also with sadness that my term had come to an end.

“To receive this honorary fellowship means a huge amount as it makes me feel I have a lifelong connection with the ongoing work and people in the research industry; thank you very much for honouring me in this way, I am very chuffed.”
