Norty Turner has been named as the new president of the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF), after Brad Boehler decided to step down having recently left his role with IPAF member firm Skyjack.

Andy Studdert, IPAF's interim CEO, said, "We'd like to thank Brad for all the work he's done and wish him well in his future career. We're pleased to welcome Norty, Karin and Karel into their new roles; IPAF will continue to promote the safe and effective use of powered access worldwide under the leadership of its updated presidential team."
