Les is md of Etesia UK and has been an active member of the AEA for over 14 years.
As President of the AEA, Les’s role will be to lead the Board of Directors, while the farm equipment and outdoor power equipment councils and various technical and specialist groups focus on current issues and initiatives.
Due to Covid-19, the AEA's 2020 Annual General Meeting was postponed back in April, leading the Association to take the unprecedented step to nominate Les as its President-Elect.
Following recently introduced changes in legislation, the Association has now been able to formalise Les's role as President, as the AGM was allowed to be held virtually. With some 30 participants in attendance, as well as the company legal advisors, all was ensured as legally binding.
The AEA says that Les will receive his chain of office in more certain and safe times.
