Wendy Williamson, chief executive of the Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation (IAAF), has been re-elected to the Board and made Treasurer of FIGIEFA, the association representing the needs of the European aftermarket to governments and legislators of the European Union.

Following her initial appointment as Treasurer and Board member in 2015, Wendy, who was also recently named in the 2018 Autocar 100 Great British Women list, was re-elected at FIGIEFA’s General Assembly held in Brussels, where members renewed its board for the upcoming three years.

The IAAF and FIGIEFA have a close working relationship, monitoring and contributing to new European legislation affecting the trade. It is this partnership that works to represent the interests of IAAF members to European and international institutions, promoting the contribution of the independent automotive aftermarket in order to achieve the EU’s goals for a competitive European economy.

Both organisations work together on a number of issues including type approval, roadworthiness proposals, EU Mobility Package, access to technical information and the Connected Car.

Commenting on her re-election, Wendy said, “I’m delighted that fellow members have selected me to continue working closely with FIGIEFA. It enables IAAF to maintain its key position of taking both the challenges and opportunities in the trade to European legislators, and to keep fighting for the independent automotive aftermarket.”
