"The personal benefit that I have received from my CAFP membership
is an increased awareness of the many different aspects of the
foodservice market. From the dedicated London programs over the past
3 - 4 years, I have had the opportunity to gain a better understanding of
different products, services and market segments which are all a part of
the exciting Foodservice industry. As an active member, I have found
that the CAFP creates an excellent networking platform in addition to
the ongoing Foodservice education opportunities."
Barry Brigham, London Branch
