Having graduated with a Masters degree in engineering, Howard Castle-Smith spent the last twenty-five years of his career with Air Products and Chemicals Inc., a leader in the production and supply of industrial gases and which serves the industrial, energy, technology and healthcare markets worldwide.
Prior to retirement, Howard was Regional Vice President–Tonnage Gases, Europe, Middle East, Africa and India at Air Products. Latterly, Howard has been Hon. Secretary of the Chichester Cathedral Friends, serving the community for the last five years; a role that he will be stepping down from in June 2023.
I view the Cathedral as my spiritual home and over the years the place, and the people who worship there, have come to mean a great deal to me. I am very much looking forward to joining the Chapter and contributing to the delivery of the Cathedral Vision in all its fullness. Towards this, I would hope to be able to use my knowledge of the Cathedral afforded me from my time as Secretary of the Cathedral Friends, together with the experience I gained from working in the energy business sector for over thirty years.
