It is with great regret that the BCMPA announces that Rodney Steel, former CEO of the BCMPA, has died following a short illness.
A well-known figure across the contract manufacturing, packing and logistics sectors, Rodney had successfully led the BCMPA since 2003 until his retirement in June last year. During this time the Association developed into a major force, promoting the services of the UK’s contract manufacturing, packing, fulfilment and logistics sectors to global brands, retailers and entrepreneurs.
Emma Verkaik, CEO of the BCMPA expressed her deep sadness and paid tribute to Rodney’s many qualities and his leadership of the Association for over 20 years.
“We are all hugely saddened by this news and send our deepest sympathy to Rodney’s family and friends. Rodney was the driving force in building the BCMPA into the respected Trade Association it has become today. He will be deeply missed by myself, the BCMPA members, and the industry at large.”
Messages of condolence can be emailed to [email protected] or posted to its Head Office for the BCMPA to collate and pass on to Rodney’s family.
