Delivery of the strategy will be spearheaded by the independent VI Chairperson, a role funded by Defra, and VI sponsors working closely with the VI Operations Director.
The term of the current Voluntary Initiative (VI) chairperson, Paul Temple, finished at the end of October 2020. As a result, the VI is seeking a new Chairperson who will have responsibility for delivering its future strategy and lead the organisation as it adapts to meet all the current challenges facing responsible pesticide use and IPM.
The VI sponsors would like to thank Paul Temple for his significant contribution to the VI over the past three years and wish him well for the future.
