BIFA Director General Steve Parker comments: “We have made clear our strategy to further raise BIFA’s profile with our members as well as enhance engagement with them.
“Paul’s appointment, which follows that of Andrew Melton in July, will help strengthen and support our engagement with our members in the South and Southwest; and ensure that their views reach all areas of the association; and are reflected in the work undertaken by the secretariat.
“His wide-ranging experience and senior roles in a number of successful businesses, coupled with his roles in an advisory and consultancy capacity; leaves me confident that he has the ability to engage with our members in his region to get a better understanding of how BIFA can fulfil their requirements.”
