History

The Institute was founded on 19 October 1917 from a meeting of “The Association of Quarry Managers” in Caernarfon in North Wales. Anne Greaves was the first woman to become a member of the Institute of Quarrying in 1925. Gradually expanding over the years, IQ now has affiliate organisations in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Southern Africa and Hong Kong.

In September 2012 the Institute moved to its new premises at McPherson House, named after its founder Simon McPherson, in Chilwell, Nottingham.

Structure

The largest membership group remains in the UK, where the Institute was founded in 1917. Australia constitutes the largest group in the Pacific region and close ties are maintained with their neighbours in New Zealand and Malaysia. To the north, members are based in Hong Kong, operating both in the territory and China. The Institute's activities in Southern Africa are centred on South Africa which provides support for members in other countries of the region.
