10 Apr 12 Sir John Armitt, chairman of the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and former network Rail chief executive, is in line to become president of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 2015.

The ICE has elected Sir John to its presidential team, taking up a post as succeeding vice president in November 2012. This puts him in line to become president in 2015, subject to formal election by ICE council.

Current president Richard Coackley said: “Sir John brings extensive experience of the profession and the challenges it faces to the Presidential team.
