BPMA announces new board members

Clive Allcott of Direct Textiles + Bags has been appointed to the role of vice chair of the BMPA Board of Directors to support the current chair, Haydn Willetts.

In line with board plans, the BPMA has also co-opted Jules Adam of WCM+A and Richard Sullivan of Navillus to join the board with immediate effect.

Mr Willetts said: “Clive has a great track record with the board, already responsible for our Charter programme on the board bringing about significant change for Charter members, his appointment as vice chair represents the next steps in development for the BPMA. We also welcome new blood in the form of two new talented business owners, Jules Adam and Richard Sullivan, co-opted to the board to bring fresh skills and vision to our progressive plans.”

Making the moves now, CEO Carey Trevill explained the co-opting would be made official at the AGM this November.

She added: “It’s important to bring skills into a board at optimum times and with key planning for the next two years, this was the perfect timing to bring Jules and Richard on board with their wealth of experience, and with Clive taking up vice chair supporting Haydn, we’re all set for progress.”

The BPMA also recently added to the executive team with appointments earlier in February, welcoming Sarah Connor as events and training manager and Sarah Irwin as membership executive, supporting Tom Robey as membership director.
