IOM3 has appointed Judith Allan as chair of the Packaging Society.
Allan is a materials engineer and has had spells at Mars, as a packaging technologist, design agency JKR and most recently at a start-up engineering agency where she was chief operating officer.
Her strategy as chair is to champion the appeal of the Packaging Society to a diverse membership and work to attract younger members.
She says that she wants to drive more communication of the positive aspects of packaging to the general public as well as expanding the relationship between the Packaging Society and other divisions of the IOM3.
Allan said: “Having been lucky enough to be able to choose to retire early from full-time employment, I’m really excited to have the opportunity to continue an active involvement within the packaging industry at such an interesting and challenging time.”
