“In welcoming Carson, Fred and John into their new roles, I would also like to express my appreciation for the contribution made by Steve Parker during his two-year tenure. Like Steve; Carson, Fred and John have a broad range of external interests, and very wide experience at ‘the coal face’ helping to run their respective freight forwarding businesses. I’m certain that BIFA and its members will benefit from their appointments as National Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Board Member, respectively.”
