Founders Harry Hogan and Jim Doherty are awarded Legacy
Honours
CEDA has acknowledged
the contribution to the catering equipment industry by FEM’s founders Harry
Hogan and Jim Doherty by awarding them Legacy Honours. The awards are for ‘outstanding individuals
who have played a role in creating a tangible legacy that has made a
considerable positive difference, enriched lives, served with dedication,
passion and commitment and have cast an indelible history within the UK
catering equipment sector.’
The awards
were given at during the CEDA conference, at a gala dinner at the Majestic
Hotel in Harrogate on 24 November 2021.
Former CEDA
chair Peter Kitchin presented the duo with their Legacy Honours, noting that
the pair has actually met at a CEDA conference, following which they formed the
company in 1993. FEM celebrated its 25th
anniversary in 2018 and is now one of the UK’s top ten largest foodservice
equipment companies.
Harry is the managing director
of FEM. He said, “It is a privilege to
be nominated and I really appreciate the honour. I would like to say that my
wife has been a great supporter over the years. My son Mark also works in the
business, he’s a great support too and at some point I will be handing over to
him.”
Jim, who retired in 2020, added:
“Thanks to all the CEDA members for this fantastic award and thanks to Harry
for being a fantastic business partner for many years. And also thanks to my
wife Sahira for putting up with me for so many years and still putting up with
me in retirement!”
