IPAF appoints Wraith

Chris Wraith of Lavendon Access Services is taking up the full time post of technical officer at the International Powered Access Federation.

Wraith will take up his new post at the start of July and will be based at the federation’s head office in Cumbria, UK. He fills the vacancy created by the recent retirement of Gil Male.

Wraith has been with Lavendon, the world’s largest specialist access rental group, for many years, most recently as UK quality, health, safety and environment manager. He is a qualified IPAF instructor, a chartered member of the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health.

IPAF chief executive Tim Whiteman said: “Chris brings more than 20 years of operational and managerial experience of the access industry to the post and will undoubtedly become a key member of our team. We are delighted to be able to share his experience with our members around the world.”

Wraith added: “I am really looking forward to becoming part of the IPAF team and building on the excellent work of Gil Male. I will be working closely with everyone in the access industry to further improve the safe and effective use of powered access equipment worldwide. My thanks go to everyone at Lavendon for a long and happy association.”
