Nick Oryino, managing director of Ferndown-based Carford Group, has been appointed chairman of industry body the Catering Equipment Distributors Association (CEDA).
Mr Oryino, who ran Carford's service division until 2000 when he was appointed managing director, headed a management buyout with fellow director Richard Weller and formed the Carford Group in 2001.
He joined Carford in its early days 21 years ago as a catering service engineer.
He said: "CEDA is helping member companies to adopt best practice and to ensure they have staff who are competently trained in aspects of commercial catering equipment design, installation and service.
My aim as chairman is to see CEDA become larger, which will directly help to improve standards across the industry." |
