The British International Freight Association (BIFA) has elected new chairs in three of its six Young Forwarder Network (YFN) regions.
Brooke Flower, EU customs import entry clerk at KWL Logistics, has stepped up as chair of YFN’s Anglia region. Nicole Page, recruitment and HR admin assistant at Unsworth, has been named chair for the London East region. Harris Hay, key account manager from Cardinal Global Logistics, joins as chair of the North West region.
Formed in 2019, YFN provides participants with opportunities to support their professional development through exclusive in-person events, boosting knowledge, sharing skills, advice and experience from industry professionals, along with providing visits to places of industry interest. The network involves both in-person and virtual sessions.
YFN is made up of six regional groups, each organising events on a regular basis. The other three cover the Solent area, South West England, and Heathrow.
“I know that Brooke, Nicole and Harris are keen to take BIFA’s YFN to even greater heights in the regions they now chair,” said member service director at BIFA, Carl Hobbis. ”BIFA looks forward to working with all three of them, as well as the chairs of the other three regions and the Virtual YFN as we seek ways to develop the important work being done across the country.
Since its inception in 2019, YFN has held over 145 events.
