Till said: “I am delighted to take over as chairman of the UK Country Council and to continue the good work of the previous chairman, Ben Hirst. The UKCC has an important role to play in advising IPAF of UK priorities and representing all members, and I look forward to working closely with them and the IPAF team to that end."

Hirst added: “This was not an easy decision for me. I’ve been immensely proud to serve on the UKCC and to work alongside such a committed and thoughtful group of people. I genuinely believe we’ve made a positive impact on the industry during my time involved, and I’m hugely grateful for the openness, collaboration and shared sense of purpose that has characterised our work together.”
