Foodservice
Equipment Association’s chief executive receives Legacy Honour
CEDA has awarded a Legacy
Honour to FEA’s chief executive, Keith Warren.
The award recognises the legacy that Warren has created in his 20 years
with FEA (formerly CESA).
Former CEDA chair Jack Sharkey
precented the Honour, saying, “Keith has led FEA to many great achievements and through many challenging times, with drive
and commitment. He’s worked to promote
the industry, driving the sector forward and ensuring that its voice is heard
in the right corridors.”
Warren was
totally taken by surprise with the honour.
““Thank
you all, I wasn’t expecting that!” he said.
“I have to thank a fantastic secretariat team that we rely on as trade
association directors. Jocelyn, who’s
our membership and events manager; Adam, who’s our marketing manager, and Sarah-Jane,
who underpins it all with administration. It is genuinely a team effort and I
would like that to be recognised tonight.”
He added, “I’d also like to
thank every FEA chair I’ve had the privilege of serving under and to thank all
those FEA members who, over the years, have contributed their time voluntarily
to the work that we do.”
Several other FEA members
received Legacy Honours at the awards dinner, which took place on November 24
during the CEDA conference at the Majestic Hotel
in Harrogate. They included Steve Coates
of Advance Group; Bob Clifford of Marren; Mechline’s Peter Galliford; FEM
co-founders Harry Hogan and Jim Doherty; and Williams’ sales and marketing
director Malcolm Harling.
