BMRA re-elects Susie Burrage as president

The British Metals Recycling Association (BMRA) has elected Susie Burrage for a third term as president. Burrage, who is the managing director of Chesham-based Recycled Products Ltd., has already served four years—two terms of two years each.

According to BMRA, during her tenure, the BMRA has celebrated its centenary (in 2019) and she has steered the association through several high-profile projects, including the development of the first sector-specific apprenticeship, the Metal Recycling General Operative. An overhaul in BMRA communications also occurred, thanks in part to the newly created Membership and Communications Committee, of which she is chair.

“It has been an honor and a privilege to represent BMRA members,” Burrage says on her reappointment. “It is made easier when you are surrounded by good people, and I would like to thank my fellow board members, committee members, the BMRA secretariat and my staff at Recycled Products Ltd. for their support these past four years. I look forward to continuing for another term and further extending the influence of the BMRA.”

“Susie’s commitment to the BMRA has been relentless. Her tireless work has meant that the BMRA continues to be at the forefront of metals recycling in the U.K. and on the International stage,” says James Kelly, CEO of BMRA. “Her support of me and the secretariat enables us to ensure we deliver the best service we can to our members and understand the challenges that the industry faces on a day to day basis. We welcome her reappointment and the opportunity to continue working with her in this crucial role for the metal recycling industry.”

 Burrage is also the president of the European Metal Trade and Recycling branch of European Recycling Industries’ Confederation (EuRIC) and the U.K. ambassador for the Bureau of International Recycling, both based in Brussels.
