Keith Mollard, financial director of A&M Insulation based in Rainford, St Helens, has been elected as chair of the National Insulation Association’s (NIA) North West and North Wales Forum. The NIA is a non-profit professional body representing over 90% of the UK’s insulation industry; and Keith will be involved in promoting professionalism of its members in the North West and North Wales.

Keith has worked in the insulation industry since 1972 and in that time he has served around 20 years on the NIA Council. He has also been involved in consolidating various insulation representative bodies under the umbrella of the NIA. Keith has been regularly involved with the development of energy and carbon saving strategies between the industry and government departments.

The local forums are a relatively new innovation of the NIA and have been involved in the North West Forum since its formation. Keith commented: “I am really enthusiastic to develop and increase the involvement of local companies to the levels attained by the other forums. We can achieve this by becoming more focused on industry issues and inviting guest representatives of various bodies to discuss these and answer questions from members.”
