The PAB Chairman, Ian Beesley, said in welcome, “Richard has been a strong advocate for PAF data for over 25 years, and his expertise in the market for address data will further strengthen the PAB focus on maintaining the accuracy and completeness of the Postcode Address File.”

Richard added: “I am delighted to be invited on to the PAF Advisory Board and I look forwards to becoming actively involved in the board’s role of advising the AMU on behalf of PAF users. I am particularly interested in the quality of the PAF data and therefore helping to ensure that PAF continues to be one of the very best quality data sources in this ever-changing world.”
