THE END of the year sees the retirement of Ken Birchall as managing director of Gilbraith Tankers. He joined the Accrington company in 1960 after 20 years in banking and accountancy, and was appointed to his present position three years later.
Mr Birchall has also been extensively involved in trade association affairs, having been a chairman of the Northwestern section of the Chartered Institute of Transport. He is the immediate past chairman of the Tanker Functional Group of the Road Haulage Association, and it was under his chairmanship that the first Tankcon was launched in May 1983.
Derek Pilkington, a co-director of Gilbraith Tankers, takes over as managing director from January 1.
