With John Stanley, the BFPA has named Martin Kingsbury as its new liaison manager, replacing John Stanley who retired at the end of July. With the BFPA looking for a safe pair of hands in this crucial role, Kingsbury's 25 years in the fluid power industry, in a variety of technical and management positions, made him the ideal candidate.
BFPA's Ian Morris says: "The BFPA develops and maintains excellent contact with its members by having a dedicated membership liaison manager. This is a vital role and we feel that Martin Kingsbury will continue developing the business using John's extensive contact structure and network through which the BFPA has derived much of its success."
Martin's previous positions have seen him amass considerable industry experience. At 46 years old he combines energy with experience in a role he feels he can make his own. He commenced work on August 1st and will contact as many existing members as he can in his first few months in order to introduce himself. He comments: "I acknowledge the role so adequately performed by my predecessor and I expect to function in a very similar style. Members and potential members should see a seamless integration as John Stanley leaves and I take over. I am looking forward to the challenge enormously."
