The change comes into effect from 23 January 2018 – the same day that current chief Dr Graeme Philp (image right) will retire after leading GAMBICA for over 7 years.
Brambley said: “It has been a great pleasure to work for Graeme and I’m honoured to have been chosen to take over the role. I’m excited at the opportunity to lead the highly effective GAMBICA team and to build on the momentum we have to take us even further in our goals as an Association."
Brambley has worked for GAMBICA for over 12 years, initially in charge of the industrial automation sector and more recently as director of public affairs. A transition period is now in place, with Philp and Brambley working together.
GAMBICA’s president Ludo Chapman said: “I am delighted that Steve has agreed to take over the reins of GAMBICA at this most important time. Steve knows GAMBICA well and has been an important part of the team that has transformed our industry’s trade association in recent years. I look forward to working with Steve to continue the good work as we build on our influential position to ensure that the industry’s interests are represented in a time of unprecedented change.”
