Recruitment and HR consultancy Listgrove has placed Dhrupal Joshi as industrial issues executive to the British Plastics Federation’s (BPF’s) London-based team.

Specialising in the plastics and packaging industries, Listgrove’s latest recruit for the BPF comes at a “crucial time” for the BPF.

According to Conrad Taylor, Listgrove’s operations director: “Despite the credit crunch, BPF membership numbers have been steadily increasing and the BPF has been central in lobbying government to improve its commitment to the UK plastics industry.

“At Listgrove we are playing our part by helping identify the best people who can manage projects on behalf of the industry and promote the benefits of plastics to a wider audience.

“Over the last seven years, we have helped the BPF shore up its internal resource, particularly in the areas of project management and marketing, but also at board level. These candidates have subsequently been successful in taking on expanded roles in the BPF.”
