Hoshizaki UK is preparing for a leadership change this autumn, with Sales and Chain Accounts Director Simon Frost set to take over from current Managing Director UK and Ireland Steve Loughton, who is officially retiring from the industry following some 45 years of service. He joined Hoshizaki at the beginning of last year. During his career, Loughton has worked for brands including Garland, Jestic, Kitchen Brains, Manitowoc, Standex, and Welbilt. Frost will work closely with his predecessor before taking the reins October 1. He has 20 years’ experience in the industry with companies such as Falcon, Manitowoc and Wexiodisk.
