Richard Burnett, the chief executive of the RHA, has tendered his resignation after seven years in the role.
Under his leadership the organisation has grown significantly and its profile as an association has increased considerably.
He said: “I’m incredibly proud to have led the transformation of the RHA during my time here, creating the strong and diverse association we see today. None of this would have been possible without the dedication of the RHA staff and support of our members. Thank you.”
He joined the RHA in 2014 from Samworth Brothers Supply Chain, where he’d been the MD, and prior to that he’d spent more than 10 years at Wincanton.
He will leave the organisation on 31 December 2021.
