Rachel Greasby, Managing Director of George Fischer UK, is set to become President of the BPF Pipes Group in January 2025, taking over from Steve Richmond of Rehau.
She was previously Vice-President and commented: “I am really looking forward to taking on this role as it’s an exciting time to be in the plastic pipes industry. I see three key areas of focus in the coming year: sustainability in manufacturing and operation, plastic pipes’ key role in the drive for clean energy, and encouraging more of our younger members to play an active role in the future of the industry.”
Rachel has been at George Fischer for three years and prior to that was in the automotive after-market industry, based in the UK but working for a US company as Strategic Marketing Director. She has spent over 20 years in the automotive sector so brings a fresh approach to the pipes industry and the BPF Pipes Group.
Joining Rachel as Vice-President is Mark Spacie, Managing Director at Brett Martin. Mark also becomes Chair of the BPF Pipes Group’s Strategy Group.
The BPF Pipes Group is a trade association for the UK’s plastic pipes and fittings manufacturers.
