Trade supplier chief executive appointed to chair industry body

Cooper has been a member of the CPA’s industry principals’ council for the past seven years.
He said the CPA’s input in the debate about the “country’s future prosperity” and the future of the construction industry would be “key”.
Travis Perkins said the appointment would allow it to play a “leading role in advancing the cause of the construction industry”.
