1 June 2018


A new president has been appointed at the British Coatings Federation (BCF).

At the BCF’s annual conference and gala dinner in Oxford, outgoing BCF president Vincent O’Sullivan, of PPG Architectural Coatings, handed over presidency of the BCF to David Beckford, of Pronto Industrial Paints.

“The coatings industry faces a number of challenges, including the uncertainty surrounding Brexit, the defence of TiO2 and continued pressure on raw material prices,” said Mr Beckford.

“It’s in times like these we need our trade associations, and I know the BCF will continue to work hard on our behalf to ensure that we have the support and knowledge to be able to adapt accordingly, so that we continue to grow and prosper as an association and industry.”
