The ETB welcomed the appointment, chairman Sir Anthony Cleaver, said: 'Paul brings with him a breadth of experience, spanning technology based businesses, engineering institutions and the media, from which the ETB will benefit.

'The Board of Trustees and I look forward to working with Paul to build on John Morton’s success in working with our partners across the engineering community to promote the vital role of engineers, engineering and technology in our society.'

Jackson said he was exited by the opportunity, and added: 'The credit crunch has really sharpened the focus on the need to build foundations for future economic success. Engineering and technology will underpin that success, from innovation in manufacturing to information technology in banking. We will be keeping the public in touch with that contribution and encouraging young people to take part in their future careers.'
