Mark Bromley has succeeded Fred Osborn as the elected national chairman of UK freight forwarder group BIFA for a two-year period.

Osborn becomes immediate vice-chairman for a two-year term. Alongside him is John Stubbings, group director and company Secretary of the Woodland group who was elected Vice-Chairman by the board.

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

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.”

“You can see where Mark’s expertise in freight forwarding is, since he represents BIFA at (European forwarder group) CLECAT as chairman of the road institute, as well as attending meetings of the (global forwardewr group) FIATA working group toad.

"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.”
