Bill Fraser, CBE,BICC

It was no easy task to find a successor to Lord McFadzean, who was recognized not only as a figurehead for his own company but of industry generally. But British Insulated Calender's Cables are confident that they have found the right man in William Fraser. An electrical engineer by training, Fraser played a key role in the development of Scottish Cables—later to become part of BICC—and his work in building up the present company's overseas operations has earned him a Queen's award for export services.
