The announcement was made at CESA’s 2014 annual conference held at Heythrop Park Hotel last week
Frost said: “My goal is to focus on our extremely successful training programmes, including the CFSP and our tri-education scheme with CEDA and the FCSI. It’s also important to highlight the important, albeit, un-glamorous work we do with the European Federation of Catering Equipment Manufacturers (EFCEM) on global challenges including legislation.”
The focus of the conference was ‘the future is bright’ and conference speakers included: David Smith, economics editor of the Sunday Times; futurologist Mark Stevenson; Peter Backman, Emma Read and Nicola Knight of Horizons and was chaired by Steph McGovern, business journalist for BBC Breakfast News.
The gala dinner was attended by CESA members and their guests and included the awards presentation of the FCSI’s sustainable equipment award to Glenn Roberts, managing director of Gram UK for the significant temperature developments of the Superior Plus 72 cabinets and the CESA Outstanding Service to the Catering Equipment Industry Award to David Smithson, CEO of the Winterhalter Group.
