Polymer Distributors and Compounders Group Chairman
- Mike Boswell, Plastribution
"Distributors and Compounders are an important sector within today's UK plastics market. This is an active and vibrant group through which members, their customers and their suppliers can benefit from the wide range of agenda topics that are addressed at regular meetings. Not only does membership of the BPF bring broader benefits but in particular an interface through which we can understand issues affecting the UK Plastics Industry and an opportunity to ensure that our views can also be represented by the BPF. In addition the BPF presence at a comprehensive range of trade shows has created commercial opportunities for our members. My aim is to continue to develop the group and enhance the value to its membership." |
