Kirk Dugard, Project Manager for Dartford-based Simpsons Removals has been appointed to the BAR Board as a Directly Elected Director.

The appointment will be for a period of three years.

“I am delighted to be joining the BAR Board,” said Kirk. “I’ll be working hard to make sure the small and medium sized members are heard and also to help BAR encourage them to embrace technology in their businesses.”

 

Kirk joined Simpsons in 2006 and has been instrumental in introducing and developing the company’s IT systems to make full use of the technology available.

 

Before joining the removals industry Kirk spent seventeen years as a customs agent and was a Board member of an organisation that looked after the interests of around 400 agencies across the UK. During this time he successfully lobbied parliament in London, Strasbourg and Brussels to obtain £1.7 million funding to help businesses adopt the new system.

 

“I’ve had a lot of experience of being in a position where I can make a difference to companies and represent their best interests; I’m hoping to continue doing that at BAR,” said Kirk.
