60 OF THE BEST | PKN 60 YEARS SPECIAL 71
SPECIAL MENTION Rene Rose
Behind many a successful company is a hard-working, passionate, commit- ted, energetic and enthusiastic public relations manager. I have just described Rene Rose of Positiv.
Not only does she make every effort to develop communications and market- ing strategies across multiple touch points that are in her client’s best inter- ests, she does so in the context of advanc- ing the wider industry’s interests. She has invested time and energy into devel- oping an in-depth understanding the Australian packaging and processing machinery sector, and those who have worked with her will agree, she is a pro- fessional you want on your team.
Rowan Williams
Rowan has more than 25 years’ experience in business management within the chemi- cals and plastics industries. Currently the president of the Australasian Bioplastics Association, and board member and direc- tor of the Australian Organics Recycling Association, these voluntary role comple- ments his position as the regional market development manager for BASF Asia Pacific.
Williams has extensive experience in the practical implementation of solutions for biopolymers ranging from organic waste management, the applications of com- posted organics and soil amendments for improvements in soil health, use of biode- gradable mulch film and the merging of these two applications for improvements in horticulture and agriculture.
James Windsor
James Windsor, CEO of Fibre King, is the fourth generation of the Windsor family to manage the Fibre King business and is focused on ensuring his great grandfather’s legacy is continued.
An APPMA Board member, Windsor’s vision includes making automation solu- tions accessible to all Australian manufac- turing companies. Under his leadership, Fibre King has designed a compact and affordable range of packaging machinery that allows smaller manufacturers to scale their business and be more competitive.
Windsor works tirelessly to align Fibre King’s automation solutions to the compa- ny’s core belief: that production facilities should be efficient, smart, sustainable and cost effective and is passionate about driv- ing solutions that support this.
