Bob McLellan Takes on his 3rd new role since “retiring”

Bob McLellan (former Chief Exec at DS Smith) is certainly keeping busy in his “retirement”, having now taken on a third role as board member of CITPA, with the move to President Designate as of next July.

CITPA is the international confederation of paper converters in Europe. It’s members are from the corrugated board and packaging, beverage cartons, folding cartons and self-adhesive label industries as well as other related products.

Bob takes over from former Korsnas head Bengt Nordin in the CITPA role, which begins just after he ends his term as president of CEPI, the European paper manufacturers’ association, in June 2012.

Since leaving DS Smith in April, Bob has become a non-executive director at Swanline and also Chairman of The Logson Group, as well as being president of the CPI and FEFCO.

He stated “It is an honour to succeed Bengt and it is clear that there are important issues which the industry must continue to do good work on.

“Food waste, carbon sequestration and the road map on resource efficiency 2020 are seen as three priority issues.

“We need cool facts to ensure our sectors have a common approach based on science. CITPA represents products that are versatile, environmentally responsible, recyclable efficient and safe.”

We wish Bob well in his new role.
