BIFA has announced that its new national chairman is Mark Bromley, formerly chairman of its surface policy group.

He replaces Fred Osborn, whose two-year term has ended. John Stubbings, group director of the Woodland Group, was elected as vice-chairman, while Sir Peter Bottomley retains his position as BIFA president.

BIFA director general Robert Keen said: “In welcoming Mark and John into their new positions, I wish to express my appreciation for the contribution made by Fred Osborn over the past few years and pleasure that Sir Peter has agreed to continue in office.

“You can see where Mark’s expertise in freight forwarding is, since he represents BIFA at CLECAT as chairman of the Road Institute, as well as attending meetings of the FIATA Working Group Road. Mark’s expertise alongside John’s wide-ranging experience in helping to run a successful freight forwarding company will ensure that BIFA and its members will benefit greatly from these new appointments.”
