Workman to Resign as Director General of CPI

The Confederation of Paper Industries (CPI), U.K., this week announced that Director General David Workman (photo) will step down later this year, giving ample time for a successor to be appointed. Applications for the post are now being sought.

"I have really enjoyed the past six years, and will leave with very mixed feelings, but I believe that the time is right for a change. The legislative landscape is evolving and bringing with it fresh challenges, which I think are best handled by someone able to lead the organization through into the 2020s. My successor will inherit a fantastic team of people who together have transformed CPI into a very high profile and successful trade association."

CPI is a trade association representing the U.K.’s paper-based Industries, including recovered paper merchants, paper and board manufacturers and converters, corrugated packaging producers, and makers of soft tissue papers.
