At the Ceda annual general meeting Paul was ratified by the Ceda Board and will now work alongside chair Kirstin Hatherley.
She said: “It gives me great pleasure to announce the appointment of Paul Neville as my vice chair. Paul has demonstrated significant commitment to Ceda as a long-standing member, regional chair and four years to-date on the board. I look forward to working with him to further develop Ceda.”
Through Paul’s leadership and dedication, CHR Equipment Ltd have been an active and engaged Ceda member for many years.
Paul himself is delighted with his new role and is keen to get started. He added: “Personally, it’s an incredible honour for me to take on the role as vice chair for Ceda. I’m excited and looking forward to supporting Kirstin as chair and the wider Ceda family. I’ve been in the family business for 30 years.
“In the last 15 years I have spent a lot of time innovating and delivering sustainable kitchens, driving the designs for the full electrification of the commercial kitchen, using energy optimisation and data from metering and via the connected kitchens, to help clients understand both its running cost and their carbon footprint.
"As the pace for the digital commercial kitchens and buildings continues to increase, I hope to use my experience here to benefit the Ceda membership, and in turn their clients, in reaching their own net zero targets.”
