Ben Hirst, joint managing director of Horizon Platforms, and representing the Access Alliance, was elected vice-chairman.
鈥淭his new UK Council will devote itself to UK issues and will be a force to help the UK powered access industry move forward,鈥 said Peter Douglas. 鈥IPAF has grown internationally over the last few years and there has at times not been enough resources dedicated to UK-specific issues. The forming of this council will change that.鈥
鈥淭he forming of the UK Council is extremely significant for IPAF and something that we have been working towards in the last years,鈥 said IPAF CEO Tim Whiteman. 鈥淭he move is intended to make sure that today鈥檚 international IPAF is still fully relevant to the needs of UK members.鈥
