Hogg, commercial director at BIFA member company, Unsworth, who has been vice-chair for the past two years, was appointed a director of BIFA in 2019 and chairs the trade association's Surface Policy Group.

 

Along with Hogg, will be Keith Baguley, UK import manager at Atlantic Container Line (ACL) who became BIFA's regional chairman, Merseyside in 2018, and has now been elected as vice-chair.  

 

Meanwhile, BIFA said Morley becomes immediate past chair for a two-year term, and  Sir Peter Bottomley, MP, remains as BIFA president.

 

"In welcoming Charles and Keith into their new positions, I wish to express my appreciation for the contribution made by Rachel Morley over many years; and pleasure that Sir Peter has agreed to continue in office," said Steve Parker, director-general of BIFA.

 

"Charles and Keith's' 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," he added.
