The UK’s No.1 Independent Fish & Chip
Restaurant always fries in
The phrase “Going for a Burton” has only positive connotations
when talking about Burton Road Chippy the restaurant and take
away based in Lincoln. Run by Des Anastasiou and Lesley Graves,
Burton Road was the National winner of Best Chippy Chips in
2013 and 2014. At the National Fish and Chip Awards in 2015,
Burton Road received the ultimate accolade of being judged The
Independent Fish and Chip Restaurant of the Year.
What are the secrets behind Des and Lesley’s success? Top quality
food, excellent and well trained staff together with high levels of
customer service and satisfaction have been the key components.
In order to maintain these high standards Des and Lesley are
committed to using only the best quality ingredients. They select
fish from sustainable stocks in line with their MSC certification
and use potatoes from specially chosen, local Lincolnshire farms.
And of course there is only one frying medium that fits the bill
and that is Frymax.
Frymax is produced from top quality pure white sustainable premium
palm, which is additive free and contains no hydrogenated oils.
Not only does it guarantee consistently good results, its performance
is long lasting without any deterioration in quality.
Des and Lesley know that if you want to continue to produce the
best, there’s none better than Frymax.

‘Champion’ Award competition. We would like to say a huge thank
you to all the shops that entered this year and congratulations to our
three finalists who will join us at the National Fish & Chip Awards in
January. They are in alphabetical order Burton Road Chippy,
Fochabers Fish Bar and Towngate Fisheries.
The judging was tougher than ever and it shows just how much the
Quality Award is improving the industry. We would like to thank Sarah
Knowles from Takeout Insurance and Derek Dews from T Quality for
joining us as guest judges on the panel this year. We would encourage
all our Quality Award holding shops to enter next year. If you are an
NFFF member thinking of applying for the Quality Award turn to
pages 24 to 27 to see what the award means to our finalist and former
champion.
This is our last magazine for 2015 and we will be back in the New

you will all enjoy. All that’s left for me to say now is to wish all of our
readers a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year for 2016.

THE
FishFriers
REVIEW
A year with Frankie’s
Fish & Chips
Written by Carlyn Kearney, Frankies Fish & Chips
I’m often asked why a small fish and chip shop on a large clump of
rock 150 miles out in the North Sea would enter the National Fish &
Chip Awards. The obvious answer is why not? We make very good
fish and chips and run a modern business with a 21st century
outlook. But then so do our colleagues in many other fish and chip
shops up and down the country.
accept the award.
Looking back now, my
memory is of a blur of
adrenalin-fuelled
excitement and
disbelief.
It goes without saying that success in these awards gives a huge
boost to your business, and we’ve never been averse to a bit of glory
for Frankie’s. However, we think there has to be more to it than that.
So a major part of the rationale for entering was the role Frankie’s
plays in showcasing what we believe to be the best sustainably caught
and harvested seafood anywhere.
After the lunch there
was a round of media
interviews under hot
video lights, a
celebratory meal (not
Frankie’s staff with their awards
fish and chips!) and a
few drinks. And the
next day we were rushed to ITV’s studios for a live appearance on
Loose Women and back across the River Thames to visit Parliament.
Shetland is in the middle of some of the richest fishing grounds in
Europe, and the clean, clear waters just off our shores yield quality
fish that you really need to taste to appreciate. If we were able to
support those in our community who catch or harvest MSC crab,
haddock, mussels and scallops, so much the better.
And throughout, there were
hundreds of phone calls,
emails and Twitter and
Facebook messages of
congratulations to answer.
Another key element was the part we have played in promoting the
fish and chip trade in general. Despite living (and sometimes being
marooned!) in Shetland, we always try to attend trade events and
make a real effort to speak up for fish and chip shops, whether that
be in the media, to governments, directly to customers or to
suppliers.
Overnight, our profile had
been catapulted from alsoran to top dog. Everyone
wanted a piece of us – a few
words, a photograph, a
video clip. Such was the
thrill of winning that I’m
amazed I managed to say
anything coherent or look
presentable!
In the run-up to the 2015 awards, I refused to believe that we could
win the title of UK’s No.1 fish and chip shop. We had been runner-up
the previous year but the standard of competition is high – and it gets
better every year. We knew from Calum Richardson from The Bay in
Stonehaven and from the Fuscos from Quayside in Whitby (winners in
2013 and 2014 respectively) that success would change our lives and
our business markedly.
But by the time of the awards lunch at the London Lancaster Hotel on
20th January, I had more or less put the possibility out of my mind
(every now and then an image of us holding the trophy aloft would
lodge itself in my imagination, but I swiftly dismissed it). I kept
reminding myself that it was only six and a half years since we had
opened Frankie’s in our home village of Brae.
When we did win, our table went wild. There was joy, there were hugs,
there were tears. Friends and colleagues from the industry rushed
across to congratulate us even before we made it to the stage to
On Loose Women - Carlyn,
her mum Valerie Johnson and
presenter Ruth Langsford
All through it I was thinking
of everybody back home –
and in the shop in particular.
We had left our young staff
in charge at a time when our
success meant we were
deluged with customers.
I needn’t have worried. Those same staff are the real reason Frankie’s
has been such a success. They are dedicated and hard-working. They
view the problems and issues that inevitably arise as challenges to be
solved rather than obstacles that stand in their way.
So if we have learned anything this year, it is that we are extremely
lucky to have such committed people working for us!
One of the highlights of the year was watching as my very nervous
colleague Brian Kennedy did a live cooking demonstration at the
Shetland Food
Fair while
managing to
look as if he
had done
hundreds of
similar events
before.
We have also
discovered
that Calum
6
Carlyn's colleague Brian Kennedy doing his food
demonstration at the Shetland Food Fair with compere
Davie Gardner
and the Fuscos and previous winners were right: our sales have
increased, interest from both the media and industry stakeholders
has become greater than ever and we are constantly in demand to
give our views, speak at events and write articles such as this one! All
of which we are glad to do.
The single biggest opportunity our win opened up for us was to go to
Japan, where (helped by Calum Richardson) I set up a pop-up Frankie’s
fish and chip shop in two Hankyu department stores, first in Fukuoka
and then in Osaka, as part of that company’s annual British Fair.
The Japanese are really enthusiastic, so we got a great reception as
people started coming into the store. I guess the nearest thing to fish
and chips most of them had probably tasted would be tempura, the
very light batter.
That said, at least two of our visitors on the first day said they were
returning after having enjoyed the Quayside’s fish and chips the year
before!
While we were busy in Fukuoka, it was nothing compared to the
situation we faced in Osaka. The Umeda store in Osaka is the home of
Hankyu, which is the equivalent of Harvey Nichols or Harrods in this
country, and is the chain’s biggest store.
On one of the
days in Osaka,
the queues were
up to 100 deep
and we sold
more than 1,200
portions of fish
and chips.

think I really
appreciated how
popular fish and
chips were in

we got to

Some of the Frankie's staff with Red Cross staff at the
National
start of the annual cycle sportive hosted by Frankie's
Young Fish
Frier of the
Year. They had a photo from the shop to prove it!
We exported all the fish and (blanched) potatoes to Japan and also
used the trip as a first outing for our new Frankie’s Finest Batter mix,
specially made by Middleton Food Products Ltd after a visit to the
shop by the company’s sales manager, Ryan Baker.
We now have 250g bags of the batter on sale in the shop and following
its launch at the Shetland Food Fair in November we received interest
from local shops in selling the product. As part of our commitment to
constantly improving the business, we are considering other
development ideas.
Our market in Shetland is very limited (the local population is 23,000,
the equivalent of a town the size of Arbroath, boosted by visitors from
around the world mainly in the summer months), but hopefully we
have helped with our success to raise the profile of the islands.
Judging by the number of people who have visited the shop from
places as far afield as Australia and Canada this year, we have
definitely put it on the fish and chip shop map!
And we won’t be stopping here. After all, we have a thriving business
and a thriving trade to promote. Fish and chips anyone?
We’re so good, this Santa only delivers to us!

THE

REVIEW
The Workplace Pension
Written by Sophie Thornhill, Clayton Holmes Naisbitt Financial
Pensions used to be rarely
talked about, but now it seems
that you can’t switch on the TV
or open a newspaper without
hearing about them. 2015 has
been a huge year for Pensions,
first with the introduction of Pensions Freedoms,
where members of pension schemes can now
take benefits in a much more flexible way and
with the ever increasing waves of Auto-enrolment
which affects all employers with at least 1
employee. That’s 1.8m employers in the next 3
years.
Arguably, the biggest
test to the Auto
Enrolment regime is yet to come, with 500,000
small firms set to reach their “Staging Date” in
2016. In fact, c. 100,000 employers are set to hit
their Staging Date by March 2016.
the critical elements required to
meet the pension’s
requirements under Autoenrolment regulations.
Depending on what payroll
service NFFF members use
dictates whether or not the additional compliance
module is needed.
Due to the huge number of employers going
through Auto-enrolment in the next few years the
solution is available to all
NFFF members for set up
now allowing you all to
get set up in readiness
for staging dates. To get
your set up now go to the
NFFF website for this
exclusive solution.
Research from insurer and pension provider Aegon
UK revealed that 68 per cent of employers feel a
greater duty of care as a result of auto-enrolment,
but they are facing barriers as they try to engage
with staff. Two in five believe interactive digital
tools would be the best way to improve pension
engagement.
But where do Employers start to source, set up and
enrol staff into a scheme?
The NFFF has been working with Clayton Holmes
Naisbitt Financial Consultancy and the Carey
Corporate Pensions to offer NFFF members a
simple cost effective solution. NFFF has used its
scale and influence to negotiate an exclusive deal
for all members to meet their Auto-enrolment
responsibilities. Guaranteed acceptance is offered
to all members and a dedicated online set up is
available where a pension scheme can be set up in
less than 10 minutes for a fixed fee of £345.

pension provider, Carey Corporate pensions offers

McWhinney’s Sausages –
it’s all going on!
As crazy as it sounds, that
Christmas, and 2015 drawing
to a close. Northern Ireland
is celebrating unprecedented
success along with Wales,
England and Ireland, as it
has just qualified for next
year’s European Qualifiers in France, a massive
achievement for a country with less than two million
people. Speaking of Northern Irish success stories, it’s
impossible not to consider the achievements of
McWhinney’s Sausages – one of the brands now famous
for punching well above its weight in the food industry
sector.
The company is reflecting on another hectic year, whilst
looking forward to an exciting 2016. It continues to go
against the grain by investing in its processes,
headquarters, factory and equipment, a process that was
kicked off in 2011 and has already paid dividends for the
company and its army of loyal customers. We spoke to
Managing Director and owner, Kevin McWhinney, to get
the lowdown on another bumper year for the company.
“McWhinney’s has really created its own brand
renaissance over the past two to three years. We’ve been
making sausages since 1898, but our devotion to the food
service industries has been operated from our Bangor
factory for about 2 decades. Our loyal customers will have
noticed many changes in almost everything that we do,
except of course in our products.”
As Kevin puts it “We’re enjoying an entire new chapter in
the overall business. We have invested carefully over the
past five years because we knew that we’d be all the
stronger for it as a result, and that’s proven true – 2015
has been our best ever year as people continue to want
quality products, happy to pay a little more for it. We know
that our product is and always has been the best on the
market, and we have worked tirelessly this past few years
to establish a brand, corporate identity and ethos that
reflect the quality of our sausages.”
The company continues to directly champion its people
and customers in a big way. Throughout 2015 it has
maintained a recognition throughout the industry and
beyond for promoting its customers in this very
publication, heavily across social media, and in
newspapers across the UK and Ireland. McWhinney’s has
now given away literally thousands of pounds worth of
fantastic prizes to the general public via its Bigfoot
Sausages Facebook page, an amazing process given the
fact that those same people can’t actually buy the
10
products in supermarkets. As Kevin said, “it’s not about
the buying in stores that makes our famous giveaways so
important. We realise that the general public are our
biggest route to market, and if they walk into a chip shop,
café or restaurant and directly ask for a McWhinney’s
sausage, then that’s a massive win. We know for sure that
they are doing that every day, because chippy owners are
telling us, and the public are too! Social media is how we
interact and engage with our customers, and we love to
give something back that’s fun, entertaining, and unique
to us. We’re really looking forward to doing much more
across social media in 2016, and who knows, that retail
product might appear yet!”
You can keep up-to-date with the company by logging
onto Facebook and following Bigfoot Sausages. The
company is currently giving away two fantastic prizes
each week, and is celebrating the Rugby World Cup by
giving one lucky follower a rugby jersey of their choice.
We’re also told that there’s another Christmas Bonanza
coming up, and we can assure you, you won’t want to

NFFF Virtual Tour
These advantages work for any business,
large or small.
We now live in a world where everyone looks at their ‘phone
before deciding where to buy something. It is more
important than ever that all businesses keep up with the
way the public shop. Searches like ‘coffee nearby’ or
‘nearest cinema’ are common place. As is ‘nearest
takeaway’ or ‘fish and chips near me’.
This kind of presence also helps to build consumer trust in
your business with a high–quality, third–party–produced
virtual tour that lets people experience your location before
they arrive. These immersive, virtual experiences inspire
greater confidence among prospective customers, both
locally and those passing through.
Hopefully, you will have seen the virtual tour of our
Training Centre and Conference Room which gives us a
presence in Google Maps that affords us two important
marketing advantages.
1. When people
search for us, they
see a much more
attractive
‘knowledge graph’
panel on the right
of the search
results with the
Search results showing the knowledge graph
information from
our Google Page. It
gives all relevant information for contact and includes an
image of the inside that can be clicked – to ‘see inside’.
2. If searched for ‘on
the go’ (mobile), or
in Google Maps, the
results are
presented in Google
Maps with the
information from
our Google Page.
This time, with an
attractive panel on
the left of the map
Search results in Google Maps
with an image of
the inside (the
reception) which can be clicked to enter – virtually! This
image replaces the ugly street view image from the
Google car and can be worth it for this reason alone.

Importance of
Signage in a
Business
An important consideration is
how you plan to use signage.
A creative, attractive sign can
help your existing business
stand apart from the
competition or give a new
business the best start.
Signs serve as a type of silent
salesperson for your business. Exterior signs draw attention to your
place of business and help differentiate it from others on the street.
Interior signs help customers locate merchandise and can lead to
impulse sales when added to special displays, like point of sale and
menu systems etc.
Proper Tasty
Great ﬂavour appeal, with that special Fish & Chip shop taste
Proper Quality
Made from high quality pork to a recipe developed especially
for the Fish & Chip market
Proper Performance
Perform brilliantly in the deep fat fryer, with an exceptionally
good holding time in hot boxes
Proper Profitable
High margin product offering opportunities for incremental sales
Proper Value For Money
A quality product competitively priced for excellent
value for money
Proper For You
Available in sizes 4s and 8s
Call 01482 314 700
for more information
Exterior signs can be groundmounted or building-mounted.
Ground-mounted signs can take
on a variety of shapes and sizes,
and are typically mounted near a
road to attract the attention of
passing motorists. Buildingmounted signs are attached to
the place of business and may be
useful in areas where foot traffic is prevalent.
Signs can be an essential component of a
business's overall marketing strategy. A sign
that contains a business's logo can help
reinforce its brand. Signs are also used to
draw attention to promotions and to convey
information about the business. Because an
exterior sign is visible 24 hours a day, 365
days a year, its effect is continuous. For
businesses that have limited marketing
funds, signs can be a cost-effective form of marketing.
At Sign Focus we have over 35
years of signage experience, in
which we can advise on value for
money signage solutions to state
of the art signage schemes to
stand your business out from the
crowd. We offer a full project
management service in which
we design, manufacture and
install full or partial schemes to fit within your budget.

REVIEW
Sitting down with Adrian Midgley
Around the Leeds
postcode the Midgley
brand
is
growing.
Adrian has just under
30 years in the fish and
chip industry and in his
time has seen and
undertaken many shop
fits. From his years in
the industry Adrian has
picked up on what,
aside from high quality
fish and chips, attracts the crowds for fish and chips.
Adrian has built his ‘Midgleys’ brand throughout his shop fits and
says that it gives you the chance to start a fresh and build on the
experience you wish to give the consumer.
Meet Adrian
First and foremost every refit I have undertaken I have seen an
increase in trade. This isn’t down to luck though, when planning
to undertake a shop fit you must consider all options. You, your
staff, your customers, the community, the suppliers and the
products.
All these factors can have a major influence on your shop and how
the refit is undertaken. From my own experience you do need to
look at all these factors and be willing to listen to people such as
your shop fitters you have or are planning on hiring. These guys
are the experts and have a wealth of knowledge.
shell of your shop, do you have
the room to work, it may look
nice but if you don’t have the
room to work you won’t create
the product needed to live up to
the shop fit you have worked so
hard to create.
The shop refit is much like the
fish and chips you sell, the more
work you do behind the scenes
the more rewards you will see
with the final product. Your
budget is key, stick with it, talk
to your shop fitter.
I have worked with Elite
Shopfitters for many of my shop
fits and I have built up a great
relationship with Dave and his
lads, they are experienced and
will talk you through ideas and leave no stone unturned.
Top Tip
Consider your gas and electrics long before and, if you are
having a new range fitted do you have enough power to run it
efficiently.
Midgley’s
For me the Midgley brand
is built on great quality
fish and chips, but as with
all businesses a great
product can only get you
so far. To build my local
brand I decided to go with
unity in my shop. From
red, black and white shop
front to the red and white
shop interior.
Down to my own research
red is a stand out
appealing colour, it draws
the eye and in today’s
world
of
worldwide
brands on the high street
curb appeal is essential.
The fish and chip trade
has a new generation of
customers, customers
who don’t live on the food’s reputation but move on the reputation
of the whole business. A clean smart shop is essential to any
image you wish to portray to the outside public.
Adrian’s Advice
Sort out the shop fit clearly beforehand, a shop fit isn’t just the
time while the fitters are in the shop. It’s building up ideas,
contacts and relationships before you give the go ahead. Plan the

ceilings, shop front and signs were
installed with a new digital menu also
ordered.
I first took ownership of Jolly’s Finest Fish
& Chips in 2012. I run the business with
the help of my son Gov Heer and staff, who
all take pride in what they do.
It soon became apparent that the lay out of
the shop was not practical for me to run a
successful business. So, in March 2015 I
placed an order for a new frying range. I
started an initial sketch of a new shop lay
out including locations for my new
equipment. Following advice from my
brother in law and a few sketches later, I
came to the conclusion that some walls
needed to come down and ceilings replaced.
I contacted some companies for quotes and once I had one I was
happy with, work commenced. The full refurbishment took 8 days
with everything taken back to bare brick walls and floors. New
The transformation was amazing as you
see on the before and after pictures.
Following the refurbishment I entered a
competition for the Best Fish & Chip Shop
in Sandwell. I am delighted to say that we
won and Jolly’s Finest Fish & Chips are
now the number one shop in Sandwell.
I take my job very seriously, using only top
quality products. I use cod that is delivered
to me fresh daily and I only ever use Maris
Piper for the chips, which my customers love.
The challenge of the refurbishment was amazing. I would like to
thank my brother-in-law Taka for the help he provided.
Fantastic Opportunity - Become involved and own your own fish
and chip business!
Due to retirement, this rare opportunity to acquire one of the best fish and chip and restaurant businesses in the country.
Rothley Fisheries is situated between Leicester and Loughborough in the picturesque village of Rothley, very close to the tourist
area and much visited Bradgate Park. With shortened hours of business the outlet has high turnover with much further scope. The
double fronted property entails a three bedroom apartment large living accommodation, large garden and rear car park for 7 cars.
With annual turnover of £500 to £600 thousand and high profit margin, it would be a sound long term investment.

annual NFFF AGM and President’s Banquet
& Ball which took place at the Crieff Hydro
in Scotland, which was a fantastic event and
venue and would like to take this opportunity
to thank everyone involved.
So our year continues, in early summer we
received the accolade of the ‘most
sustainable fish menu’ in the World by the
MSC (Marine Stewardship Council). This was
in recognition that we have 12 MSC certified
species on our menu, which is the most in
the world.
The coverage we received from this was
incredible and the influx of sustainable fish loving customers increased once
again. This proves to me unquestionably that our customers are interested in
the sustainability and the welfare of our oceans.
To become MSC certified is now easier and cheaper and a fantastic way of
making a difference and displaying to your customers that you care about the
fish you serve.
NFFF Fish & Chip
Quality Award
Champion Award
We are incredibly proud that just recently Kingfisher Fish & Chips was crowned
one of the UK’s Top 10 Fish & Chip Shops and Regional Winner for South West
England and Shortlisted to top 3 in the UK in the Good Catch Award for
sustainability both awards are part of the National Fish & Chip Awards 2016.
In January 2015 Kingfisher Fish &
Chips scooped a top national
award; we were crowned NFFF
Fish and Chip Quality Award
‘Champion’ during a prestigious
ceremony as part of the National
Fish & Chips Awards 2015.
Striving for perfection and a passion for serving the best chips and chips you
can buy, means it is incredibly hard work, but our desire for quality makes it
very rewarding. We are having a fantastic time and loving every minute, and
have had the privilege to have met lots of great people within the industry and
look forward to meeting lots more.
Myself and my partner Nikki work
hard in our business, so naturally
we were delighted with winning the ‘Quality Award Champion’ Award, and this
was the beginning of what is to be an amazing year.
The NFFF Quality Award helps raise and maintain high standards within your
business. Being assessed against quality benchmarks is a health check for
your business. The Quality Award will always have a special place in our hearts
and our business.
Winning the ‘NFFF Quality Award Champion’ Award and being able to promote
our achievement has made a significant difference to our business in terms of
increased customers and sales. Kingfisher was already on a growth curve
anyway but since our win at the National Awards in January it has taken our
business up another level again.
We have learned so much on our
journey and really wanted to give
something back to the industry and
help others, which is one of the
reasons I became a NFFF Training
Tutor and also an NFFF Quality
Award assessor. I thought this was an
apt way of repaying the benefits the
Quality Award and being Quality
Award Champion has done for us.
Still wanting to give back to this
fantastic industry I have also recently
been appointed an NFFF Regional
Director. I consider this an honour
and a privilege to be in this position
to help others within the fish and chip
sector. This was announced at the
24
We look for forward to the future where I hope more shops will embrace the
Quality Award as we pass on the baton to the new ‘NFFF Fish & Chip Quality
Award Champion’ in January 2016. I’m sure that as the standards of Fish &
Chips continually increase, nutritious and sustainable fish and chips produced
to high standards will be the National favourite dish for years to come.

REVIEW
Welcome VITO UK!
VITO UK LTD IS THE SOLE
IMPORTER OF THE NO. 1 PORTABLE
OIL FILTRATION SYSTEM. WE HAVE
A LARGE NUMBER IN Fish & Chip
shops around the country including
busy restaurants and mobile fish &
chip trailers.
Our customers like the portability of
the machine as it takes just 3.5
minutes to filtrate up to 80 litres per
minute where the machine sits directly into the fryer
range and filtrates the hot oil on a repeated cycle through
the finest 5 micron filter. It takes no supervision and It’s
compact size means it can be easily stored
unlike traditional oil filter machines.
We have recently joined the NFFF and have
visited the Training Academy, where we met
Richard who was blown away with the
demonstration we did. Our machine now
takes pride of place in the academy and there
will be a training video on display and copies
to take away for interested parties.
We have NFFF members as customers
including The Chip Inn, Long Stratton, a very
busy site takeaway & restaurant who have
had their VITO for 4 years Jamie Austin says
“we have been using the V80 for a number of
years and have particularly been impressed
with the performance and portability of the machine. We
have built in filtration but I find the VITO removes all the
carbon and I can use it during opening times as it only
takes 3.5 minutes and
beats messing around
at the end of the day”
Delivery, servicing and maintenance is all carried out in
house by our own engineers. We have plenty of stock
available for next day delivery including a RTB 2 year’s
parts and labour warranty.
Contact us to take advantage of this amazing offer.
We also have a number
of mobile fish & chip
trailers including Barry
Soames from Mistley,
Essex says “As I am
short of space, the VITO
80 is brilliant for my
filtration needs and it
really works removing
all that black carbon in
my cooking oil, the
filters can be used
multiple times and it is
easy to clean”.

REVIEW
Training
Review of 2015 and looking forward to 2016
Written by Richard Wardell, NFFF Training & Accreditation Manager
and cooked fish and chips on the
other day.
The summer of 2015 saw the fantastic refurbishment of the NFFF
Training Academy. This was conducted by Elite Shopfitters who
produced an ultra-modern looking lecture room which is now bright
and has created a more relaxed environment for students to learn
in. Mallinson’s of Oldham also kindly installed a new traditional
counter style frying range in the frying room. This enabled us to
continue to offer students the opportunity of cooking on either a
traditional style frying range or a high efficiency frying range, which
is provided by Martyn Edwards/Frank Ford. Valuable contributions
towards the NFFF Training Academy were also provided by other
Associate Members including Drywite, EPOS Group, James T
Blakeman Co Ltd, Kerry Foodservice and Vandemoortele/P100.
For two days in early October, NFFF Regional
Directors and staff were on hand to showcase the
new facilities to Associate Members, NFFF
Members and local businesses. Rachel Tweedale,
2015 Drywite Young Fish Frier of the Year winner
showcased her skills on one of these two days whilst
Mark Corbally and Calum Lawton from Mister C’s,
2016 North East England winners for Independent
Takeaway Fish and Chip Shop of the Year, prepared
This year has also seen the
continuation of the delivery of our
one-day and three-day training
courses which are accredited by
Seafish. Many students indicated
how much they appreciated the input
from award winning fish friers with
feedback including: “Excellent
delivery with realistic and real
business anecdotes. Thanks and
here’s to fun fish and chips!!” As well as being delivered at our Training
Academy in Leeds, both of these courses are now also being delivered
in Kilkeel, as our Northern Ireland Training Hub opened its doors to
students in 2015. A special thank you to Alan Hanna (NFFF Regional
Director) for his input into getting the Northern Ireland Training Hub
launched along with the support from Golden Glen Catering and
Middleton Foods.
Our training facilities in Leeds were used to host the semi-final judging
days for the Drywite Young Fish Frier of the Year competition in August
when enthusiastic young fish friers from across the UK demonstrated
their skills and knowledge. In May, September and October, Campden
BRI with fish frier Mark Drummond utilised the Training Academy to
conduct the preparation and cooking of fish, chip and mushy pea
samples for the Seafish Fish and Chips Nutritional
Analysis & Consumer Preferences Project. The
results should be available to the fish and chip
industry in early 2016 when fish friers can make
informed decisions about their cooked products.
In 2016 why not utilise our in-shop training package?
This package involves one of our award winning
trainers conducting six hours of training at an
individual’s business, at a date and time that is
convenient to the business. By adopting this approach means that the
students can be taught in an environment that they are used to working
in, with machinery and equipment that they feel comfortable with.
Another benefit of a fish and chip shop undertaking in-shop training is
that they can request for the trainer to focus on specific areas within
their business. Other plans for 2016 include the development of a
practical customer service skills training course along with more guest
fish friers at our three day training courses.
Thank you to all students, trainers, Associate Members and Helen
Brook for their valuable input during 2015.
For all training enquiries, please contact Helen Brook on 0113 2307044

FAS Fish Report
FAS fish prices are relatively stable going
into the winter but is 2016 going to see
this as a new equilibrium, or will a small
tightening of Barent Sea cod quota putting
even more upward pressure on supplies
into the UK?
to feed all the world’s chronically hungry
four times over.
www.un.org/en/zerohunger/challenge
Food for thought! Perhaps the end of
another year is an appropriate time to
reflect on the wider issue of global food
security, so here are a few observations
from the 2015 World Expo “Feeding the
Planet” that’s just ended in Milan. This
was an opportunity to reflect upon, and
seek solutions to, the contradictions of
our world. On the one hand, there are still the hungry
(approximately 870 million people were undernourished in the
period 2010-2012) and, on the other, there are those who die from
ailments linked to poor nutrition or too much food (approximately
2.8 million deaths from diseases related to obesity or to being
overweight in the same period). In addition, about 1.3 billion tons of
foods are wasted every year.
• Russia Big, bold and ambitious . . . Russia is re-branding itself as
a global food producer with attitude. Its size, soils, water and
agricultural heritage can deliver its own food security – and the
world’s, it argues. www.russia2015.com
• UN Zero Hunger Challenge aims to banish global hunger by 2030.
One target is to halt the 30% of food wasted. This could be enough
34
• Food Stimulus Emotions drive eating
behaviour and Nestlé is one global food
producer working to better understand
what makes us feel satiated. “I am what I
eat, I eat what I am”, their commitment is
to produce healthier foods with better
portion guidance and less saturated fat,
salt and sugars. www.nestle.com
There is no doubt that feeding the
projected world population of 9bn in thirty
years is the major peace-time challenge for our generation. There
is no doubt that fish is an essential foodstuff and will be central to
this challenge. The good news is that scientists know how the
challenge can be met if appropriate political willpower can be
harnessed to the common cause. That we live in interesting times
is not simply an age-old Chinese proverb, it is the immediate backdrop to the British food and food-service industries. 2016 will be
another interesting year for British Fish & Chip shops.
Fasfa wish you all every best wish for a happy Christmas and
prosperous New Year.

Campden BRI at the NFFF HQ the
nutritional information will be clear for all to see.
Stuart Atkinson, NFFF Vice President –
I would love to see the media stop using
fish and chips as the image for stories on
salt, sugar, fats. When ever you see a
story within the media domain relating to
health risks in food a picture of fish and chips in
never far away.
Andrew Crook, NFFF Treasurer – The
last few years I have witnessed the fish
and chip shop industry undergoing a lot
of change. Gone, thankfully, are the days
of everyone worrying about what the
shop down the road is up to, we are working together
and helping each other to all become stronger. My
wish for 2016 is for things to continue on the path we
are going down as with a great product and great
people in the industry, how can we go wrong.
Craig Buckley, Regional Director for
England – My hopes would be for further
pushes to improve training for younger
people, increased member benefits for
NFFF members and to see generally
continue on from a successful year for our whole
industry.
Craig Maw, Regional Director for
England – My thoughts and hopes for the
coming year are: that more shops have
the Quality Award raising the profile of
their businesses and this fantastic
award. With more fish and chip shops become MSC
44
certified bringing sustainability to the forefront, and
that the two can work in a symbiotic relationship to
elevate more shops and the fish & chip industry to
new heights.
John Wild, Regional Director for
England – My hope and it may be
controversial, is that all and every
business in the land to pay VAT from the
first pound they earn. It would stop
people from trying to stay below the VAT threshold,
and possibly suppressing their income in order to do
so. A lower percentage from all instead of a higher
percentage from a few, would benefit all of us and
our economy!
Mike Smith, Regional Director for
England – My hope would be for a level
playing field for VAT that no shop pays
VAT until they reach the level for paying
it in other words we all get the first level
free of VAT.
Hugh Mantle, Regional Director for
England – My hope is to get Primary
Authority status for us on Food Safety.
Alan Hanna, Regional Director for
Northern Ireland – I would like to see
our trade to be recognised as a
profession and therefore a career path
that school leavers could take a proper 3
year apprenticeship.
John Penaluna, Regional Director for
Wales – I would like to see the NFFF
Quality Award recognised as the GO TO
standard for the public, media and all
Fish & Chip Shops.
