Damian James is to step down as ACFO chairman at the organisation’s next AGM on 3 June. James, who has headed up ACFO for a year, will resign his post as both chairman and director following a promotion from his current role at Bracknell Forest Council, which includes managing the council’s fleet.
His new role will not involve working with fleet.
He said of the move: “My new job with the authority marks a significant career move. However, it does mean that I will have no fleet involvement and therefore I consider it to be inappropriate that I remain as chairman and a director of ACFO.
“It is with great sadness that I relinquish both roles. I have thoroughly enjoyed my years as a director and the 12 months I have spent as chairman as well as my long-time association with the South West and Wales Region.”
Two ACFO directors’ roles are also up for election following the end of James’s and fellow director Phil Redmond’s two-year terms on the board. Both stood for re-election but James’ position is now vacant and ACFO is now appealing for eligible members to nominate themselves as directors.
Expressions of interest must be made by 9 May. See www.acfo.org or email info@acfo.org for more.
