Healthcare Caterers International
VHVG Food & Hospitality Management
The VHVG Food and Hospitality Management was founded in 1983 and began as a association for food and hospitality managers in the healthcare industry. The VHVG comprises over 100 members from the food & hospitality business in the non-profit sector and can represent healthcare institutions from all categories as well as educational institutions, so-called external catering and Defense and Justice Departments. The VHVG is active nationally as well as internationally and has joined HCI, a worldwide association for the catering and hospitality industry in the healthcare sector.
The VHVG Food & Hospitality Management is dedicated to provide her members, where possible, with the most relevant information regarding our profession. In order to achieve this goal the VHVG organizes themed meetings, symposiums, congresses, work visits and study trips. Within these activities the VHVG Food & Hospitality Management tries to focus as much as possible on different topics from the fast-growing profession of F&H Manager. Therefore we invite well-known names from the profession to give their vision on current topics and give a more in-depth view on new developments and technologies.
The VHVG has become a well-established name with government offices, educational institutions, professional associations, and business owners. They regularly rely on the VHVG and her members to share knowledge and experience in a variety of settings.
The VHVG Food & Hospitality Management is easily accessible for professionals from the F&H industry, a very active association and proud of her independence. The VHVG Food & Hospitality Management has a beautiful website (www.vhvg.nl) with, in the members area, a wealth of information such as reports, product reviews, and research results. Furthermore there is a discussion and members forum for the exchange of knowledge and information, all meant to support the F&H Manager in his or her daily activities.
The VHVG Food & Hospitality Management is being supported by a large number of sponsors. Every year the VHVG publishes a beautiful and informative (digital) yearbook with all the relevant information for members, non-members, and sponsors.
