ABOUT THE BOULTON LECTURE
The Boulton Lecture was inaugurated in 1991 in honour of our founder Captain AN (Norman) Boulton MBE, VRD, B.Com., AAUQ (1904
- 1992). These lectures are held from time to time and are initiated by a Branch of the Company, sometimes working in concert with other
maritime industry bodies. The subject of the lecture is not specified but is generally on a theme of relevance and interest to the maritime
community. The lecturer is selected on the basis of his or her knowledge of the subject and ability to contribute to industry discussion or decision making.
