“This is a key role for the LIA and will provide strategy and leadership in the academy, as well as enabling a forward-looking handover, of Peter Hunt’s excellent work in his role as Chief Policy Officer,” says the organisation.
Bob will oversee and coordinate all those supporting policy within the LIA, head up many of the key relationships, create wider and effective cross-industry links and work closely with the newly created Government Affairs committee, chaired by Dave Ribbons.
Bob brings a wealth experience to the LIA, the immediate past president of the Society of Light and Lighting, he had 20 years in manufacturing working on major projects such as St Pancras Station and Heathrow T5, before returning to lighting design and sustainability; being the recipient of industry awards for both.
LIA CEO Matt Sturgess comments, “I am excited to have Bob join us, strengthening our management team, spearheading growing the academy and representing our members in key industry and government forums.”
Terry Dean, president of the LIA adds, “Having Bob come on board, takes us a big step forward on our journey to develop the LIA and support our members’ businesses.”
