will be sorely missed as a tradesperson, although
I know he will still wear our trade on his sleeve.
He has now taken up the post of SO3 Comms in
the RLC RHQ – the very best of luck, Sir.
I’m WO1 Martin Foulds, the new head of the
chef trade – a role in which I’ve spent pretty much
my whole career pursuing. To be the head of the
trade that made me who I am today is such an
honour and I only have the chefs’ interests at heart.
I have a couple of themes that I’d like to concentrate
on during my tenure and the first is that I’m people
focused and will make every effort to try and visit
as many of the trade as I possibly can. The second
theme is to lead and support the trade through the
changes of the recent future soldier review and to
communicate the finer detail of this as soon I’m
able to. Finally, I’d like to put increase the trade’s
reputation within the RLC and recognise the great
people we have in our trade and as promised, I’ll
now go through some of the recent great successes.
I’ll start with Ex JOINT CATERER, the
Sgts Rachyel Ainsworth
highlight of the inter services culinary arts world.
