Michael (Mike) Murphy

2009 October 6-8 Metaltech/Tubotech

IWMA

It is with deep regret that we announce the death of Michael (Mike) Murphy. Rea Industrial Handling Ltd, for whom Mike worked for many years, were members of the International Wire Machinery Association and in 1980 Mike was appointed as their representative to the Executive Committee. He remained in this capacity until 1994. During his term of office Mike was appointed to the Technical Papers Award Team, where his technical experience was invaluable in the selection of the technically most important paper presented at any IWMA conference in that particular year.

In 1993, as a result of the merger of Rea Industrial Handling Ltd with Johnson Technology Ltd, Mike transferred his technical skills to Johnson’s where he was appointed technical manager, taking on the responsibilities of machine design and development, and technical sales duties. He travelled extensively throughout South East Asia and Australasian areas as well as the UK and Ireland. Unfortunately Mike had been ill for a long time, but even so he could always be relied upon to provide a funny story and to act in a jocular manner. He will be sorely missed by his family and his colleagues in our industry.
