Nordic rep for IPAF

The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) has appointed Kent Boström as the company's Nordic and Baltic representative.

Boström joins IPAF from water-powered drilling specialist Wassara, where he was communications manager for four and a half years through his own company, KB Communications. Before that he was communications manager for TT Water & Wastewater for a year.

He began his career as a PC technician for XP Media in 1998, before moving onto dewatering pump manufacturer Grindex to work in the same position. After spending nearly two years in that role, he became marketing communicator for the company, a position he held for 10 years.
