William J. Molloy, the Nickel Institute’s Managing Director – Europe for many years, has retired.
A metallurgist by training, Bill was known for his extensive experience in international marketing, sales and research. He managed programs of the Nickel Development Institute (NiDI), as well as the Nickel Institute’s programs in India, South Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
He joined NiDI in April 1988, operated from various locations in London, and was instrumental in moving the institute’s office to Brussels this year.
"When I joined the Nickel Development Institute Bill helped me to understand the organization and to make sense of it all," says Nickel Institute President Dr. Ivor Kirman. "I want to thank him for they way in which he worked with me in London over the years, and for lately working his way through the thick forest of Brussels bureaucracy to get our offices set up there."

Also retired is Douglas Heath, one of the Nickel Institute’s longest-serving European consultants. He contributed widely to the Nickel Institute’s market development projects over the years.
"Doug has a unique practical knowledge of welding stainless steels and nickel alloys in all kinds of applications," says fellow retiree Bill Molloy. "As well as taking part in regular fabrication courses in Sheffield, he has visited end-users in North America, Europe and the Far East to explain and demonstrate good welding practice. Often, his work tipped the balance in favour of nickel in a tight materials-selection decision."
