J. W. (Ian) Phillips, transport manager of Glynwed Domestic and Heating Appliances Ltd, Falkirk, was on Monday elected president of the Freight Transport Association. He succeeds Mr Bob, Beckham, managing director of SPD Ltd.
Mr Phillips, at 38, is the youngest ever president of FTA and has been active in Association affairs since 1962 when he was elected to its old Scottish central area committee. Subsequently, he became area chairman and from 1972 to 1974 was chairman of the Association's old Scottish division.
Nationally, Mr Phillips served for several years on the Association's traffic committee, and was first elected to its national council in 1966. He became a member of the national executive board in 1974 and a Vice-chairman of the Association in 1975. He is the first Scot to hold the post.
After leaving Falkirk High School Mr Phillips joined Allied Ironfounders until 1956 when he did National Service in the RAF. On rejoining the company in August, 1958 he became involved in its transport division and in April 1962 took over as transport manager, where he has been involved in the development of its distribution activities. In 1969 Allied Ironfounders became part of the Glynwed organisation. He is a member of the Chartered Institute of Transport.
