Mark takes over from the former executive chair Mark Pawsey MP, and brings with him a wealth of experience following a 33-year career in the foodservice packaging industry.
For the past 14 years, Mark has worked in senior sales roles within global organisations such as Anchor Packaging, Sharpak, RPC, and latterly at Sabert.
Having been involved with the FPA for over 22 years, half of that time as vice-chair, Mark has an unrivalled understanding of the association and the needs of its members.
“I am honoured to have the opportunity to work even more closely with the FPA’s members, partners and stakeholders – ensuring the interests of the entire membership are represented and their issues and concerns heard”, says Mark.
“By continuing to extend our reach and influence, and adding our voice to the challenges impacting FPA members, I hope to be able to contribute to the ongoing success of both the FPA and the foodservice packaging sector in general”.
“This appointment is great news for the association,” adds the FPA’s executive director Martin Kersh. “For many years Mark has worked tirelessly in support of the FPA. He is committed to extending the FPA’s impact within the industry and ensuring it remains a vital resource for our members”.
Mark Pawsey, outgoing chair of the FPA says: “It has been a privilege to serve as the FPA’s chair for the past four years and I am proud of what the team has accomplished together during that time. Mark is already well known throughout the industry and our membership, so it was no surprise to see his nomination so well supported. I know he is looking forward to taking the FPA to new heights and I wish him all the best for the future”.
Mark Byrne’s appointment is set to be ratified at the FPA’s AGM on Thursday, 01 February 2024.
