Alan is a Founding Member/Director and currently the Association,s Chairman.

On the 16th July 2012 for 10 years dedication and tireless service to the IPDA, Alan, by a unanimous vote was awarded life honorary membership in the IPDA. This was finalised and carried by a majority vote of the members at the AGM on 6 August 2012

In 2009 he changed from being a full-time stamp dealer to part-time semi retired stamp dealing which allows him to devote more time to carrying out his Association duties. He  still actively buys and sells stamps and welcomes inquiries from collectors and dealers

I began collecting postage stamps when I was nine years old, after my Father gave me his collection. I thought this was great and the thrill of collecting stamps has never ceased.

By 1985 I was a part time dealer. I sold mostly at stamp shows and fairs and at club meetings. In 1998, after retiring from a career as a management consultant and becoming a full-time stamp dealer, Devalri Stamps was born as an offshoot of the family company of Devalri & Associates Pty Ltd., Management Consultants, Australia.

In 2000 I joined the ASP as a Member/Dealer. In 2002, together with a group of stamp dealers, I helped establish the Internet Philatelic Dealers Association.

Devalri Stamps provides a range of buying and selling services covering:

British Commonwealth Stamps pre-1953 World wide stamps and packets British & Commonwealth Postal History First Day Covers A Philatelic Broker Service for Collectors & Dealers A Philatelic Consulting service covering – identification, specification, valuation and selling of philatelic material plus an advisory service for stamp clubs on organisation, administration, registration and marketing.

I sell philatelic material through EBay and other e-auctions, at some stamp shows and fairs, as well as from my web site.
