All change at BAPCO
At the BAPCO annual general meeting held on 27th July 2010 Hayden Newton was elected as President with Alan House and Sue Lampard being confirmed as President Elect and Vice President respectively.
There had been reports that Hayden was due to resign as a result of work pressures and expanding national ambulance commitments.
In view of this Past President Ian Readhead volunteered his support to help with the day to day running of the Association pending the appointment of a new Executive Director in order to enable Hayden to concentrate on his Presidential duties.
Hayden’s position as President of BAPCO was unanimously backed by the annual general meeting.
Ken Mott at the meeting confirmed that he wished to cease his employment with BAPCO from the 31st August 2010. It was with regret that his resignation was accepted at the meeting. Following this decision Hayden Newton commented: “We would like to thank Ken for all of his hard work and commitment in setting up BAPCO and for playing such a major part in this organisation.
“I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate both Sue and Alan on their appointments, the future for the Association will be very challenging but I am sure both Sue and Alan will use their experience, skills and knowledge to help the Association grow from strength to strength.
“I am also delighted to announce that since the Extraordinary Meeting, Tony Antoniou has been appointed as the new Executive Director of BAPCO following a competitive selection process which attracted a lot of high calibre candidates from wide and varied backgrounds. Tony will be taking up his duties as soon as possible relieving Ray Trotter from the post. The Executive have every confidence in his ability to secure the future of the Association.”
As part of the new regime, the Association has implemented enhanced arrangements for the BAPCO Exhibition and Conference based on feedback from its commercial members and delegates. Letters have been sent to all the exhibitors who have attended the conference for the last two years seeking their continued support.
