Dr Laura Cohen has officially stepped down from her role as chief executive at the British Ceramic Confederation (BCC) after more than a decade.
Dr Cohen announced her decision to leave the Stoke-on-Trent headquartered trade body – which represents the collective interests of the UK ceramics manufacturing industry – last year, but she officially remained in place until yesterday (March 24) to support the industry through the dramatic impact of the pandemic. Former Stoke-on-Trent MP Rob Flello has been appointed as the new chief executive.
Here Dr Cohen looks back on her 13 years with the BCC.
