On retirement in November 2019, joined the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF) as Chair of the Petrol Retailers Association. As the political and business climate turned against the myriad of mainly non-compliant Hand Car Washes established across the UK since 2005, re-formed the Car Wash Association which became a legal entity operating under the RMIF banner in late 2017.
