IAAF appoints new Vice President

The Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation (IAAF) has appointed Terry Knox as its new Vice President.

Terry Knox has been a Member of the IAAF Council since 2016, and is Managing Director of CD Group. CD Group’s largest trading name, Component Distributors, is a warehouse distributor, supplying Motor Factors throughout Ireland.  Headquartered in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the company employs close to 200 people.

Terry  said: “I look forward to working with Wendy and the council to ensure we are best placed to continue to flourish in a world where autonomous and electric vehicles will continue to have a growing influence.  Targets set by government may seem on the horizon, but it is the hard work done now that will allow us to have a strong future in the aftermarket.  Connected car data transfer is a real threat to our industry and the IAAF will continue to press for a fair and open future for the automotive aftermarket.”

Wendy Williamson, IAAF Chief Executive, added: “Terry seemed the natural choice to become Vice President. We will relish working closely with him and seeing what a positive influence he will make.”
