"I am extremely proud to be BIGGA National Chairman and I will work hard during my year of office to promote the Association as well and as widely as I can," said Kenny.
His ambition during the year is to increase membership and he feels there is scope, with some new membership categories to add to the 6500 members BIGGA currently has.
"I do believe that we can make major strides in membership numbers over the next few years and I will be doing what I can to make that happen," he said.
Kenny is 43 and married to Maria with three children, Ian (12), Ruth (10) and Cameron (2).
