After 6 of years working for the IFSF on a number of specialist projects, we now bid farewell to John Carrier, who is retiring from his role as Project Manager in October. John has brought a wealth of expertise over the past 6 years to the role, namely in his work on API development and lately the collaboration with Conexxus.

He joined the IFSF in 2015 after a long career working for Shell as a Retail IT Project Manager where he had championed IFSF standards for years. His work has enabled incredible progression of IFSF’s own standards over the decades, and he was the driving force behind IFSF’s API development and awareness. His wide knowledge and technical expertise have been the cornerstone of all recent API projects – working with other IFSF leaders and the Conexxus leadership team.

John has represented the IFSF on countless occasions across the world, sharing the work that we undertake and raising awareness of the Forum. He has shared his passion for standards in our industry not only at multiple IFSF conferences, but also at forecourttech and the Conexxus Annual Conference

We would like to take this opportunity to thank John for his tireless commitment to our industry and to the IFSF over many decades – always so supportive of others and with his incredible sense of humour – and to wish John and his wife Sue a long and very happy retirement.
