As you will have read elsewhere, CPA Council have now confirmed Stu McInroy as Chief Executive designate, to take over the running of the association in 2023. Stu has lots of experience of working with members face-to-face and on a business-to-business basis, as well as with government, bodies such as CITB, and with other trade organisations. Stu and I will work together to ensure a smooth transition, with no gaps in service to members.
