COVENTRY, UK — Outgoing British Coatings Federation (BCF) President David Beckford of Pronto Industrial Paints handed over the presidency to Guy Williams, Chief Executive of U-POL, at BCF’s virtual board meeting on Oct. 5, 2020.
Commenting on his appointment, Williams said that he was looking forward to serving for the next two years and supporting the BCF team. “I would like to personally thank David for his fantastic leadership throughout his presidency, which must be one of the most turbulent periods in BCF’s history. Looking forward, the BCF, like many others, will face significant challenges ahead. However, the BCF is well placed to weather the impacts of Covid-19 and is continuing to lobby hard on other issues with the EU Free Trade Agreement and UK REACH top of the current priorities.”
