John Rimmer managing director of TFWA decided to step down. John joined TFWA in October 2012 as Director of Conferences and Research, and was promoted to Managing Director in October 2017 following the retirement of Alain Maingreaud.
During the time of his mandate as MD of TFWA – and with the support of his team, the Board and Management Committee, – John has successfully developed and grown the Association’s two major exhibitions as well as all other elements of the Association. John has also managed to steer the Association through the difficult and turbulent period of the pandemic, and will be leaving at a time when the Association is in a strong position to develop further and indeed to meet future challenges.
Erik Juul-Mortensen, TFWA President, said: “On behalf of the Management Committee, the Board and the entire team at TFWA, I would like to thank John for his valuable contribution to the development and success of TFWA since he joined, and wish him every success going forward.”
The search for a new Managing Director has been initiated, and an announcement will be made in due course.
