INDUSTRY NEWS great success.


The President also spoke of the new training/education courses that the BLF will be rolling out next year. Finally, the President spoke about succession within the BLF and he appealed to senior management within member companies to allow and encourage younger staff to get involved in Federation activities.


This year the President's Award, sponsored by RohMax, for an


individual's outstanding contribution to the BLF during 1998, was presented to Charles Hey, Chairman and Managing Director of Boxer Services Limited and BLF Immediate Past Chairman of Yorkshire & North East Branch.


Simon Foster of Crown Oil won the 1998 Brett Golf Trophy. Unfortunately, Simon could not be at the Dinner and so Matthew Greensmith, director of Crown Oils, accepted the trophy on his behalf.


Our Guest Speaker was Robbie Glen, a retired prison


Governor. In a deliberately serious and effective monotone, Robbie told of his experiences whilst working in Glasgow's Barlinnie Prison and Cornton Vale Prison, (Scotland's only female establishment). His humorous stories and jokes hit exactly the right note and were thoroughly enjoyed by all.


Diary Date: Next year's Annual Dinner will be held on Wednesday 3rd November 1999 at the London Hilton on Park Lane. Please make a note of this date in next year's diary.
