What Our NAFES Members Say

Hear from current members.

Our business is a focused / specialised one dealing with specialised products. As such we don’t have a large team to constantly be checking on all external industry changes. NAFES provides us with updates, access to information and a forum to discuss upcoming changes to industry and regulations and how that may impact manufacturers and installers. This has been invaluable. The industry training, breakfast forums, access to infield experts and CFSP training/accreditation has benefited us greatly. NAFES is well represented by a range of business types and sizes which feeds a great cross-sectional representation of what our local industry is made up of. This makes the common knowledge base and strategic direction of NAFES appropriate and relevant and I would recommend it to all business types and sizes in the industry.

I completed my CFSP course 11 years ago when I was relatively new to the industry and found it incredibly insightful. The course content broadened my knowledge across not only equipment and proper usage, but also food and beverage design principles and best practices. It remains a valuable reference that I still revisit today when I need to refresh my understanding of specific equipment applications.

NAFES is a fantastic platform for networking with like-minded peers. The annual NAFES dinner at Fine Food has become a highlight for me each year as a chance to connect with colleagues across the industry in a spirit of respect and camaraderie. As Tony Stoddart noted at this year’s dinner, we may be competitors by day, but NAFES gives us the space to come together, share a laugh, and celebrate what unites us.

I would strongly recommend anyone considering NAFES membership or the CFSP course to take the step. Beyond the initial course itself, the association offers ongoing training, development seminars, and opportunities for professional growth that continue to benefit me more than a decade later.

“I would highly recommend the CFSP course to all foodservice industry colleagues. It provides new starters in foodservice an in-depth overview of the industry as a whole with informative and crucial information to arm you for success. It serves as a knowledge base refresher for those of us who have spent a life time in the industry. An indispensable course, thoroughly enjoyable.”

“Having attended my first NAFES course this year, I can confidently say that the course outline and information selected for training over a 2-day period was phenomenal. One never assumes you know “everything” – but after completing the course realized how much I had learnt and confidence I had gained. I particularly noticed this on a project I was working on weeks following the course where information taught had come in very useful.”

“Many thanks for all the organisation for putting on a great event. It did highlight for me outside of the course, the absolute necessity for this to be a prerequisite of any person in the industry. For how can anyone offer advice and solutions to their clients without full knowledge of operations, health and laws. I will be pursuing within my organisation to have more colleagues and staff attend these training sessions.”
