Rachel Morley and John Stubbings

The British International Freight Association (BIFA) has appointed John Stubbings as its new chair, succeeding Mark Bromley.

After a long association with the group, Mr Stubbings will take the lead for a two-year tenure and, alongside his new duties, will continue to chair its legal and insurance policy group, as well as remaining group director and company secretary for Woodland Group.

BIFA’s new vice-chair will be Rachel Morley, who chairs its trade association for the West Midlands. She was appointed a director of BIFA in 2017.

Sir Peter Bottomley, MP, remains as BIFA president, while Charles Hogg, commercial director of Unsworth Global Logistics, will join the board.

Mr Hogg is currently chair of BIFA’s Maritime, Road and Rail Policy Group, and replaces Andrew Melton, of Ligentia, who steps down after 14 years’ service but will will retain his council role as vice-president.

BIFA director general Robert Keen said: “In welcoming John and Rachel into their new positions, I wish to express my appreciation for the contribution made by Mark Bromley over the past few years and by Andrew Melton over the past 14 years. I am also pleased that Sir Peter has agreed to continue in office.

“John and Rachel’s wide ranging experience in helping to run successful freight forwarding companies will ensure that BIFA and its members will benefit greatly from these new appointments.”
