Associate Members of CPACT are individuals who were once employed by either Member companies or other industrial organisations and are still active in process analysis and control as consultants.  Each Associate Member has a wealth of experience and collectively they provide unparalleled expertise to help advise CPACT Members on a wide range of technical and business matters.

Through CPACT, the Associate Member Consultants have agreed to form a Consultancy Hub that allows CPACT member organisations to access consultancy support at a preferred rate for an agreed number of days.

Click on the images below to find out more details about each Associate Member and their expertise.

How the scheme operates:

  1. The scheme is only open to CPACT Members.
  2. Contact one or more Associate Members using the email they have provided to request a conversation on the support required. The email should be copied to admin@cpact.com 
  3. It is up to each Associate Members to decide if they are able to accommodate a consultancy request within the scheme, when contacted by a CPACT member.
  4. The Associate Member will decide how many days of consultancy at the reduced “CPACT” rate they can offer on each occasion. This would typically be up to 3 days.
  5. If a consultancy arises, the Associate Member will inform admin@cpact.com .
  6. The “CPACT” rate is £1000 per day plus VAT and any additional expenses such as for travel etc.
  7. The consultancy income at the “CPACT” rate will be split with 25% to CPACT and 75% retained by the consultant.
  8. Consultancy provided beyond the agreed days at the “CPACT” rate will normally be charged at the consultant’s normal daily rate, to be agreed between the consultant and the CPACT member.

The CPACT Consultancy Hub provides unique access to a collection of experienced and trusted advisers who can assist with the design, development and deployment of PAT/Control system equipment/platforms. Their expertise spans multi-national companies (MNCs), and SMEs across most sectors including O&G, F&B, FMCG, and Pharmaceutical (API, OSD, Bio).
