Byrne takes over from former executive chair MP Mark Pawsey, and brings with him a wealth of experience following a 33-year career in the foodservice packaging industry. Byrne has been involved with the FPA for over 22 years, with half of that time as vice chair of the organisation.
Commenting on the news, Byrne said: “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.
“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.”
