New Committee Roles for 2024-25

The UK Gasket & Sealing Association (UKGSA) is pleased to announce several changes to its Executive Committee roles for the upcoming year.

These updates come as we confirm the retirement of Sandy McEwen of William Johnston & Company, from his role as Vice Chair and Fundraising Officer. Sandy has been an integral part of the executive committee and his contributions will be greatly missed.

At the AGM, both Simon Winfield and Alison Ansell were nominated to stand for a further three years; and Robert Dawson (pictured) from William Johnston & Company was voted in to replace Sandy on the Committee.

Whilst Sam Bradley from Flexitallic remains on the Committee, he is relinquishing his role as Treasurer which he has held for a number of years but will play a leading role in planning a new UKGSA Conference. The Committee thanks Sam for managing the association finances and supporting the Secretariat.

The committee roles are:

Chairman: Simon Winfield, MacLellan Rubber

Vice Chair & Events: Alison Ansell, Corseal

New Members: Roger Dent, HITEK Electronic Materials

Treasurer: Robert Dawson, William Johnston & Company

Marketing, Website & Fundraising: Gavin Lyles, Monarch Gaskets & Sealing

Fundraising & LinkedIn Group Moderator: Steven Ratcliffe, Moontown

Golf Competition Organiser & Cutting Edge Editor: James Salt, TSEC

Member Representative: Sam Bradley, Flexitallic

The Committee relies on the support of the Secretariat for the day-to-day running of the association.

We look forward to another successful year and thank all members for their continued dedication and support.
