BPF Pipes Group has appointed Richard Hill of ACO Technologies plc as President, taking over from retiring President Derek Muckle of Radius Systems.
The appointment has a two-year tenure, and began from January 2019. Richard Hill has been in the industry for around 30 years, the last 24 of them as Managing Director of ACO Technologies in the UK.
ACO has reportedly been prominent in helping to draft a variety of sustainable drainage best practice documents, and has been instrumental in ensuring that manufactured product is appropriately represented in all relevant professional guidelines.
Richard commented: “It was back in 2012 when another member of the Pipes Group invited us to join, as our business had broadened into plastic water management products. I am, therefore, delighted to be taking over from Derek some seven years later; I hope to continue his good work and to keep up the Group’s momentum on raising standards by encouraging best practice and sensible guidance in the use of plastic pipe products.
“We intend to champion our contribution to the sustainability agenda in the construction industry and share knowledge to help with training and installation, as well as maintain relationships with European trade bodies.”
Steve Richmond from Rehau has also been appointed Vice-President of the BPF Pipes Group, also with a two-year tenure.
