Stuart Jackson elected TIF chairman

Stuart Jackson, Apollo Vredestein UK managing director and Tyresafe chairman, was elected as chairman of the Tyre Industry Federation (TIF) during the umbrella association’s booard meeting during that last month. While it is early days in the incumbent’s tenure, there are early indications that there will be developments within the wider TIF strategy and that members will be looking at areas of common ground between the various member associations. Speaking to Tyres & Accessories on the sidelines of an Apollo Vredestein event in Manchester, Jackson described the news as “an honour”.

Jackson, who was elected to a third term as chairman of TyreSafe in March 2014, will continue in both association roles for “the foreseeable future”. But when commitments within the third term continuing until 2016, the association will have to consider how best to proceed in about two years time.
