BIFA elects new national chair and vice-chair

Rachel Morley has succeeded John Stubbings as the elected National Chair of BIFA – the British International Freight Association – for a two-year period.

Morley, regional manager for western Europe at BIFA member company OIA Global, has been Vice-Chair for the past two years and was appointed a director of BIFA in 2017, also chairing the trade association’s Midlands region.

Alongside Morley will be Charles Hogg, Commercial Director of Unsworth, who has been elected as Vice-Chair. Hogg is currently Chair of BIFA’s Maritime, Road and Rail Policy Group.

Stubbings becomes Immediate Past Chair for a two-year term, and  Sir Peter Bottomley, MP, remains as BIFA president.

BIFA Director General Robert Keen commented: “In welcoming Rachel and Charles into their new roles, I wish to express my appreciation for the contribution made by John Stubbings over many years – and pleasure that Sir Peter has agreed to continue in office.

“Rachel and Charles’ wide-ranging experience and senior roles in successful freight forwarding companies will ensure that BIFA and its members will benefit greatly from these new appointments.”
