The NFFF would like to congratulate Mr Rafael Chandler on becoming the latest NFFF Executive Councillor for England.

Raf will join the three EC^s for England: John Wild, Richard Ord and John McNeill.

Raf first became involved with the NFFF at the age of 17 when his former employer asked him to attend a the NFFF Fish Frying Skills training course. 

Later on in his career - after being a finalist in the Drywite / NFFF Young Fish Fryer of the Year competition - Raf became one of the training course tutors at the NFFF, getting involved on the practical sessions on both the 3-day and 1-day courses.

Raf is a great believer in what the NFFF does for our fabulous industry, and it is an honour for him to be given the chance to be involved as an Executive Councillor. Raf is looking forward to the year ahead and hopes that he can be of benefit to the board of EC^s.

Raf is the owner of Croft Street Fisheries in Farsley, Leeds, which currently holds the NFFF Fish and Chip Quality Award.

We wish Raf all the best in his new role.
