Tim Whiteman is stepping down from the position of Managing Director and CEO of the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) after 15 years in the position. Former IPAF President Andy Studdert will act as interim CEO to provide continuity as Tim Whiteman hands over and while the search for a new CEO is conducted.
Today more than 45% of income is from outside the home market, even though UK income and membership has not stopped growing since 2004. Today we have almost 1,400 members in nearly 70 countries and the Federation is in sound financial health.
Tim Whiteman says: “It has been a privilege to work with the dedicated IPAF members and team members around the world – the passion to deliver the safe and effective use of powered access motivates so many people and IPAF shares their knowledge and experience to help keep people safe.
“However, after 15 years, I’m looking forward to a change and I thank the Board for its support in making this happen,” he added.
