As a Trade Association that advises a highly sustainable and environmentally friendly business sector, we believe we need to have a clear focus that everything we do adheres to sustainable principles.
We have therefore created a new role on the SPA Committee for a Member to champion the Environment & Sustainability. We are delighted to announce that Steve Gabell, Sales Director at RH Fibreboard Containers Ltd, has volunteered for the role which he will assume in time for SPA 105th “Sustainability” Conference on Monday 27th September.
A few words from Steve:
“I have volunteered for the Environment and Sustainability role on SPA Committee because I have a natural enthusiasm for environmental protection which I have been able to bring into my work life, with the support of RH Fibreboard.
In our community in Wellington, and around Somerset, RH Fibreboard has led several tree planting and teaching initiatives with corrugated in schools and actively got customers involved with this as well.
But working with facts and figures and doing some ambassadorial PR work is really just scratching the surface of a whole area that I would like to get more involved with and gain a much better understanding of.
Learning about what our affiliates and partners are doing within the industry and how this can benefit the SPA, its members, its partners and our own business are personal goals of mine.
Having been in this industry for 20 years and attended SPA networking events for over 15 of these, I would like to bring some of the enthusiasm I have for our industry’s products and markets and help the SPA promote this in a proactive way.”
SPA 105th Conference, with the theme of Sustainabilty, takes place in Birmingham on Monday 27th February. Places for Conference are now exclusively reserved for members of SPA.
