Tony will serve a two-year term, bringing extensive industry experience and leadership to the role.
“I am excited about increasing NAFES’s presence in the foodservice industry, in particular its role in educating and uplifting the knowledge of all industry stakeholders,” said Mr Stoddart.
Supporting Tony in his new role will be Rob Wood, Managing Director of Comcater, who has been elected Vice President.
NAFES also welcomed Terry Randall, Managing Director of FSM, as a new Board member. With a strong background in governance and extensive industry expertise, Terry will be a valuable addition to the association.

“I look forward to the next chapter for our Association as we transition to new President and Vice President roles, and I look forward to the energy and direction that brings.”
