The European Mobility Group recently announced its new president and secretary who will serve for an initial three-year term.

Campbell McKee, former managing director and latterly chairman of Unwin Safety Systems, and Jacqui Jones, executive director of Mobility Choice, the charity behind the Mobility Roadshow and Get Going Live! events, were unanimously voted in by the EMG members as president and secretary/treasurer respectively.

They follow the outgoing president Øistein Hagfors and secretary Kim Delderfield who have managed the Group’s affairs for the past six years.

Speaking about his new appointment, Campbell said: “I am delighted to be taking on this new role with the EMG, which has just celebrated its 25th anniversary. I look forward to developing the Group’s objectives to raise quality standards in the provision of vehicles adapted for disabled people, and encouraging closer co-operation between the automotive industry and vehicle adaptation suppliers.”

“I am already in contact with many of the EMG members from my work with the Mobility Roadshow,” commented Jacqui Jones “and look forward to working with them and other members on a broader platform. There are great opportunities for developing new projects and events with the Group that can bring huge benefits to a wider audience.”
