“I can’t wait to show off Yorkshire, and particularly beautiful Calderdale. I’m already looking at venues in the area, and planning trips to the Piece Hall and Shibden” she said.

The British Institute of Funeral Directors is all about ‘educating the profession’ and also celebrated its 40th Anniversary at the Conference, where funeral directors from across the whole of the UK gathered, holding a very special Gala Dinner to round off a sunny weekend in Southend.

Amanda joined the BIFD as a student member in 2003, and went on to gain her Diploma in Funeral Directing two years later. She is pictured being presented with her new medal of office by the incoming President for 2022-23, Mr Jeremy Mead.
