Phil Slinger is the Council for Aluminium in Building’s new CEO.

Phil was previously a senior director of one of the largest association management companies in the UK, with responsibility for over 35 trade associations, professional societies and charities. He has also held senior leadership roles within a range of high-profile UK and international focused membership organisations, professional bodies and trade associations in the construction, manufacturing DIY, retail and healthcare sectors.

CAB president Mo Panam, who headed the search for a new CEO with CAB board support, said: “Phil has a strong trade association background including working with and for membership bodies in the UK construction sector and European hardware and DIY markets.

“It was Phil’s enthusiasm, focus and experience in trade associations that secured him his appointment and we are all looking forward to working with him.”

Phil said: “I look forward to meeting with our diverse membership, to learn more about each member and discover what we can do to support their businesses, alongside promoting aluminium within the construction industry.”
