The CEO of the British Coatings Federation has been ri-elected President of World Coatings Council and the former President Andy Doyle announced its retirement.
Tom Bowtell, CEO of the British Coatings Federation, has been re-elected as President for a second two-year term at the World Coatings Council annual meeting in March 2024. Furthermore, this year's event was also the last for Andy Doyle, former President and founder of the World Coatings Council, who will retire later this year.
“The World Coatings Council plays an important role to represent the global coatings industry to help create a successful and sustainable future for the sector. We will continue to lead on the themes of sustainability and essentiality in our work in the coming years. I’m incredibly honoured to have the trust of my industry colleagues from across the world to serve a second term as President on behalf of the global coatings industry,” has stated Tom Bowtell, CEO of BCF and President of the World Coatings Council.
“In my time with the World Coatings Council, formerly IPPIC, I’ve made so many friends around the world who collaborated to tackle some major challenges on behalf of our wonderful industry. I’m so proud of how the Council has developed over the years, and while I will of course miss it, I feel confident that I’m leaving it in good hands. I’d like to thank all my colleagues for making my time in the paint industry so fulfilling and rewarding,” has added Andy Doyle, former President of the World Coatings Council.
