IBIA Chief Executive Resigns

Bunker trade association IBIA announced the resignation of its Chief Executive Ian Adams, effective from 31 July 2011. Adams had been at the helm of IBIA since 2001 during which time the organisation has grown in size, reputation and influence. He leaves the association in order to look after his family whilst his wife recovers from medical treatment. IBIA Chairman Bob Lintott said: “We are sad to be losing Ian, but fully understand that family must come first. Ian’s contribution to IBIA has been first class and he has been instrumental in turning the association into a globally recognised industry body. We wish him well in his future employment.”
“It has not been an easy decision to leave IBIA having seen it grow over the last 10 years," Adams said. "However, I need to consider the needs of my family. I look forward to seeing IBIA continue to go from strength to strength.”
