Morley, regional manager Western Europe at BIFA member company, OIA Global, who has been vice chair for the past two years, was appointed a director of BIFA in 2017 and chairs 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 comments: “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.”
