Influential role is exciting, fulfilling and challenging – and very
varied.
After nearly three years in post Andy
Threlfall – FEA’s Technical & Policy Director, will be leaving the
role. “Andy goes with our thanks and
best wishes,” says Emma Brooks, chair of FEA.
“His will be hard shoes to fill.
His knowledge and understanding of the commercial kitchen regulatory
landscape have been huge assets, and his persistence, patience and sense of
humour will be missed.”
Andy leaves FEA on 30th
April. He says, “It’s been an enjoyable job,
I’ve really valued the opportunities it has given me. However, I’ve been offered a great role by my
former employer, Pentland Wholesale, which is very local to me so I’ve decided
to move on. I wish my successor the very
best, I know that whoever takes on this role will find it exciting, challenging
and fulfilling.”
FEA is now actively recruiting for Andy’s
replacement. The role of technical and
policy director is very varied and involves both leading and supporting the
commercial foodservice equipment sector in matters of a technical nature. It
will suit someone with knowledge, skills and experience in electrical and
mechanical engineering, who wishes to develop their career in the industry.
It’s an important role with the
opportunity to directly influence UK and EU policy makers, liaising with both
government and its consultants and agencies.
The director, who joins the professional FEA secretariat team of five,
will be dealing directly with members and working alongside bodies such as BSI,
the European Federation of Catering Equipment Manufacturers (EFCEM), and other
industry organisations. A key
responsibility will be championing sustainability and circular economy
principles within the foodservice equipment sector.
While the role is largely
home-based, it also entails some travel in the UK, Europe and beyond. The successful candidate can expect an
attractive salary of £60-£70k plus performance related bonus and other benefits.
