IMTFA Annual Awards Dinner 2023

Back in September 2022 The IMTFA (IFA) buying group www.IMTFA.co.uk (which YMF is a long standing member of) held a group member meeting at The Eden Project down in Bodelva, Cornwall.

Whilst they were there, a young man named Henry Taylor (Son of Gretal Taylor who runs the IFA Head Office in Truro, Cornwall) gave a brilliant speech to the IFA members asking for sponsorship for him and his mum to walk the Cornish Coastal Path as he was looking to raise £4,000 in total for a World Scout Jamboree in South Korea.

 

He impressed the IFA members so much that they collectively decided to donate the full £4,000 that he was asking for which was a huge shock to Henry and he was over the moon with the news.

Henry was later selected as 1 of only 36 people from Cornwall to attend the 25th World Scout Jamboree in South Korea.

 

Whilst that is a very nice heartwarming story, it doesn’t quite end there……

 

Fast forward to November 2023 - The IMTFA (IFA) Buying group held their annual awards dinner which took place on the Riverside Mozart Ship as it embarked on a luxury cruise down the river Danube.

The event was attended by IMTFA Members and Key Supplier and Henry was in attendance with his mum.

He was also sporting a beautiful mullet haircut which drew a lot of attention in the days that followed.

 

On the second evening, a Gala Dinner Dance was held, and Henry gave a speech thanking the members for their sponsorship 12 month’s prior and shared some of his experiences from his trip to South Korea with the 160x attendees.

This received a huge round of applause from the room and showcased the now famous mullet to the entire audience.

 

As part of the annual awards dinner, a charity auction and raffle are held, and this year’s was pretty special.

After the usual auction prizes had been bid and won (generating £15,000 for the homeless charity Shelter)  a second bidding war erupted which would end up raising £68,500 for Great Ormand Street Childrens Hospital.

 

We will leave Henry to tell the story in his own words below from a report that his school teacher asked him to write which tells the story of the “Million Dollar Mullet”
