The British International Freight Association (BIFA) elected Denise Hill, Ian Mallon and Chris Packwood to its board of directors.
In April last year, Hill joined BIFA’s secretariat as member engagement director. With her additional election to the BIFA board, her strong background in commercial and relationship management will assist with the governance of the trade association’s work.
Mallon, managing director of Neon Freight, joins the board with over two decades of experience in the logistics and freight forwarding industry.
BIFA said that Packwood, managing director of Geodis UK, has a deep understanding of both the operational and strategic aspects of the freight industry, and his comprehensive knowledge of international trade and logistics will strengthen BIFA’s efforts to support its members through advocacy, training, and industry leadership.
Steve Parker, chairman of BIFA, stated: “We are thrilled to welcome Chris, Denise and Ian to our board of directors. Their extensive experience and leadership in the freight forwarding industry will be instrumental in guiding BIFA’s strategic direction and supporting our mission to represent and promote the interests of UK freight forwarders. Their appointments come at a pivotal time as we continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by the global trade environment.”
Hill, Mallon and Packwood begin their terms immediately.
