BAS Director of Operations, Tim Stockings, who is attending the show says: "We are delighted to be exhibiting for the third time at this national exhibition. It enables us to take our Antarctic jobs to a range of people who may never have thought about the possibility of working as an engineer or in a construction role in Antarctica. It's an opportunity to support leading polar science and to work as part of a very special team in a totally unique environment."
