ABA President – March 2023

I am delighted and honoured to have taken over the role of ABA President at the AGM in March. It is such a privilege to be taking over the role, and I am really looking forward to the next couple of years. I was so proud to join the ABA back in November 2009 and have benefitted enormously from the opportunities that it has afforded me, through the ability to exhibit at ABA and ILAB fairs, and from the support offered on a daily basis from fellow ABA members. I am looking forward to having the chance to speak on behalf of fellow members.
