He has been associated with BIFA for many years, working for BIFA member Allways International Freight Forwarding and was previously chairman of BIFA’s Surface Policy Group.

Fred Osborn becomes immediate vice-chairman for a two-year term. Alongside him is John Stubbings (right), group director and company secretary of the woodland group who was also elected vice-chairman by the board.

Sir Peter Bottomley remains BIFA president.

BIFA Director General Robert Keen comments: “In welcoming Mark and John into their new positions, I wish to express my appreciation for the contribution made by Fred Osborn over the past few years and pleasure that Sir Peter has agreed to continue in office.”

He paid tribute to Mark Bromley’s expertise in freight forwarding, pointing out that he represents BIFA at CLECAT as chairman of the Road Institute, as well as attending meetings of the FIATA Working Group Road.

Keen added: “Mark’s expertise alongside John’s wide ranging experience in helping to run a successful freight forwarding company will ensure that BIFA and its members will benefit greatly from these new appointments.”
