British Hospitality Association Supports CESA Conference
CESA, FCSI and BHA join forces at the Oxford Belfry, 10th & 11th November 2011
“Collaboration will help achieve foodservice industry’s aims,” says Mick Shaddock, CESA chair.
This year for the first time the British Hospitality Association (BHA) will be adding its official support to the CESA Conference.
As well as delivering a top quality speaker programme, the CESA Conference is the catering equipment industry’s foremost annual networking forum. It has been run in association with the FCSI for several years. The addition of the BHA underlines the pan-industry appeal of the event.
“From generating new business to creating a new concept to looking at ways to reduce our carbon footprint, we all recognise the benefits of working collaboratively to achieve the foodservice industry’s aims,” said CESA chair Mick Shaddock. “We are delighted that the BHA has agreed to become associated with the Conference and we look forward to welcoming its members to the event.
“The 2011 speaker programme is designed to reflect the needs of the whole foodservice market,” he said. “Our theme, ‘winning – tourism, economics and business’ could hardly be more appropriate.”
David Bentley, chair of the FCSI for UK and Ireland, added his welcome to the news of the BHA’s support. “Their commitment underlines the significance of this industry conference,” he commented. “The event is an important opportunity to share valuable management information. The BHA’s presence will enhance the discussions on key business issues.”
Meanwhile Ufi Ibrahim, Chief Executive of the BHA said: “We’re delighted to be associated with the CESA Conference. The BHA supports the economic and sustainable use of energy and already works closely with CESA to help promote the new technologies that will help meet the industry’s sustainability objectives. We look forward to strengthening links with both CESA and the FCSI through this important event.”
