Hospital Catering Association National Chair, Craig Smith says:
The whole of the hospital catering community will be stunned to hear the news of Mike’s passing. The very first HCA meeting I attended was at Mike’s hospital and that was over 40 years ago. His passion for providing the patients with the best ingredients available became legendary and since his retirement his enthusiasm remained undimmed. He would constantly be questioning and holding people to account, calling for the reduction of the current reliance on prepared meals. During the recent Hospital Food Review he made sure that his comments were heard at the highest level.
His contribution to our debates will be sorely missed and the Association’s condolences go out to Mike’s partner and family.
