The role will see him complete a career spanning 35 years in foodservice equipment supply, preceded by ten years in hospitality. EFCEM represents manufacturers of commercial kitchen equipment and counts the key European trade associations in its membership, including the UK’s FEA (Foodservice Equipment Association).
Munro has held senior positions with some of the industry’s top brands, including Falcon, ScoMac and Rational. For the last five years he has been with Hobart, as managing director of Hobart Cooking Solutions and, most recently, as business development director for Hobart UK.
He’s actively participated in industry associations and has been a board member of both FEA and CEDA (the Catering Equipment Distributors’ Association), and is a member of the Institute of Hospitality.
Munro said: “Having been in hospitality and foodservice equipment for over 40 years I feel I am ready to take on this new challenge. I’m delighted to remain within the industry I know and love – and I hope as general secretary I can make a positive and lasting contribution.”
