BCAS appoints Rohan as new president

Rohan – EMEA division engineering manager for Parker Gas Separation and Filtration Division – has served as the organisation’s vice president for the last two years.

Speaking after his assumption of office, he said:"The world is changing rapidly. We are facing new challenges from the increasing demand for energy efficiency and more cleaner and sustainable technologies. With this comes changing legislation and standards in a post-Brexit regulatory landscape and, BCAS has a key part to play in representing its broad membership and as an independent voice of the compressed air industry. 

"To add further value for our membership, during my tenure I will also focus on talent acquisition and development. Our training and development portfolio and qualification programs will be broadened and strengthened, forming closer partnerships with the education sector. This will support the aim to attract more talent to our industry and our members' businesses."

Commenting on the appointment, BCAS Executive Director Vanda Jones stated the BCAS board included a breadth of experience with a balance of manufacturer and distribution directors to better represent the membership. 

“This ensures we continue to support all our stakeholders on the issues that matter most to their businesses - whether it's lobbying for changes in legislation to deliver a better outcome for customers, providing guidance on energy reduction or delivering technical training,” she said.  

“It is an exciting time for Steven to be leading the BCAS board and I look forward to working with him to support all our members and compressed air end users.”
