After five years as chairman of both the Yorkshire & Humber and the North East Coast Timber Trade Associations and more recently NETTA (the North East Timber Trade Association, formed in 2005 by the merger of the two), Ian Robinson has handed over the badge of office to newly-elected chairman Pat Burke.
Mr Burke will be supported by new vice-chairman Peter Hunt. Mr Robinson will continue to be active as a member of the NETTA executive committee.
