Rachel Greasby, managing director of George Fischer UK, has been appointed as president of the BPF Pipes Group in January 2025, taking over from Steve Richmond of Rehau.
Rachel said: “I am really looking forward to taking on this role as it’s an exciting time to be in the plastic pipes industry. I see three key areas of focus in the coming year: sustainability in manufacturing and operation, plastic pipes’ key role in the drive for clean energy, and encouraging more of our younger members to play an active role in the future of the industry.”
She has been at George Fischer for three years and prior to that was in the automotive after-market industry, based in the UK but working for a US company as strategic marketing director.
Mark Spacie is also joining as vice-president and the chair of the BPF Pipes Group’s Strategy Group. He is also managing director at Brett Martin.
