In June, Colin Watson, the MD of the BCFA – the British business association for the contract furnishing industry – will leave the association after eight years in office.
As supporter of all forms of design, Colin is well respected in the design and contract interiors market, both in the UK and overseas. Colin’s reputation and leadership has been of great benefit to BCFA-member companies.
BCFA chairman, and MD of Vescom, Milan Cvetkovic, says: “The BCFA has made enormous progress during Colin’s tenure and stands much stronger than when he joined some eight years ago. Needless to say I and my fellow board members are very sorry to see Colin go. He has worked hard and well for the association and proved to be an admirable custodian of the BCFA brand and its values. Colin departs for pastures new with our sincere thanks and very best wishes.”
Colin, who is leaving to return to consultancy work, says: “When I joined the BCFA in April 2007, little did I know the pending recession would be such a challenge and for so long. But here we are today in great shape, with a growing membership and a talented management team. I am very proud of the support they are now able to provide to the membership.”
