CEO Becomes Chairman

Our CEO, David Beeby, has become Chairman of the Packaging and Films Association (PAFA) – the trade association which represents the £2 billion UK flexible packaging and plastic films industry.  David takes over from outgoing Chairman David Read who has returned to his company’s US head office.

In the past, David Beeby has been President of the FPA (the UK Flexible Packaging Association) which merged with PAFA in 2007 and has also been President of the European Flexible Packaging Association and Flexible Packaging Europe where he was a stalwart promoter of innovative flexible packaging solutions.

Welcoming David to the Chairmanship of the association, Barry Turner, PAFA’s Chief Executive Designate, said, “This is an exciting time for PAFA as we continue the strong momentum of support for our members at national and international level. Many of our products lead the world in innovation and our voice has gained enormous respect across the globe - in areas including technical standards, legislation and environmental issues. In accepting the post of Chairman, David Beeby is bringing vast experience and knowledge at a time when our members are well placed to lead the economic recovery with high-performance, low impact products which protect, preserve and promote.”

Accepting the Chairmanship of PAFA, David Beeby said “I am proud to take over Chairmanship of PAFA and I am determined we will continue to achieve so much more for our industry than the sum of the individual companies. PAFA is a strong, single voice which has a reputation for being heard at the highest levels. It also has a long and envied record for well representing its members and I intend to build on this with the support of our newly appointed Chief Executive and a strong PAFA Board.”
