Magness has a good understanding of most aspects of the commercial kitchen, having worked in warewashing, refrigeration and prime cooking equipment. For the last five years he has been with Ambach where, as UK sales director, he manages the British market for the manufacturer.
Paul Anderson, chair of the FEA, said: “The variety and depth of his experience is a real strength and makes him ideal for this new role. I’m absolutely delighted that he’s agreed to join the council.”
The Foodservice Equipment Association (FEA) is the independent, authoritative voice of the foodservice equipment industry, representing nearly 200 companies who supply, service and maintain all types of commercial catering equipment - from utensils to full kitchen schemes.
Magness added: “Membership of FEA has been hugely beneficial for Ambach. The association has supported us with guidance and policy information about everything from Brexit to regulatory changes.
“Joining the council and product group forums will get me closer to the coalface and help me better understand the challenges faced by the wider industry. I am proud to have been co-opted and look forward to working with FEA to help achieve the association’s goals.”
