Nick Winters to head ICHSLTA pending March election

16/12/2013
France-based hide trader Nick Winters will become interim president of the International Council for Hides, Skins and Leather Traders Associations (ICHSLTA) when current president, John Reddington, retires at the end of December. Mr Winters is currently ICHSLTA vice-president.

Mr Reddington, who became president of ICHSLTA in March 2012, is retiring from his position as president of the US Hide, Skins and Leather Association (USHSLA) at the end of 2013 and has decided not to step down from his ICHSLTA role too.

ICHSLTA will elect a new president at its annual general meeting in Hong Kong in March. Nick Winters told leatherbiz in mid-December: “Our bylaws allow for me as vice-president to step up as interim president until new elections are held at the end of March in Hong Kong.”
