Northwest, I would like to congratulate Tony and Mike on their appointment and
welcome Jorge to the Board. I am delighted that people of such calibre are
joining CNW’s Board,
as they each bring different talents and experience, but are all passionate
about supporting the chemical industry in the NW. I am looking forward to
working with them to further expand the role of Chemicals Northwest in the
region.”
Tony paid tribute to the huge
contribution made by Carol and Ern in their work to develop the strategy of
Chemicals Northwest and their success in establishing it as the lead
organisation promoting the growth of chemistry-using companies in the region.
He said “Mike and I and the new Board are totally committed to the four clear
priorities; Innovation, Image, Skills and Sustainable Development. We urge all
producers, service providers and downstream users of chemistry and chemicals to
get involved with CNW and embrace these priorities, which will lead to
sustainable growth and competitiveness for our
