The TSG comprises of industry experts, from both Ceda members and partners, who each bring unique skills to the table working collaboratively to drive technical improvements across the sector. He replaces his colleague and managing director at Marren Microwave Limited, Malcolm Skinner.
Needs, who has worked in the industry for 16 years, has gained vast amounts of experience of the electrical equipment in the industry and built strong relationship with many manufacturers.
Speaking about his appointment, he said: “I am humbled to be asked to join the TSG. Marren is known for being a microwave specialist but in recent years, it has become far more, and we are now better described as a specialist in electrical foodservice equipment.
“I hope to be able to assist with helping to drive better practices, improve training and most importantly work towards building a safer, more thought of industry.”
The group usually holds four meetings each year, with two of them being open, face-to-face meetings where all members are invited. The next TSG meeting will be on 5th November, where Needs will be formally welcomed to the group.
