The FWD presented leaving gifts to Trevor West of Mars UK and Chris Rose of Landmark at its annual conference.
Chris Rose, marketing director of Landmark Wholesale, will retire after the group's annual conference in Cape Town in May. Ian Davidson will take over the role and has been working alongside Rose.
Trevor West, trading director of Mars UK Petcare and Food, is leaving this week and will be replaced by Wayne Tessier.
Both Rose and West received vouchers from the Queen's wine merchants Berry Brothers & Rudd.
FWD chairman Francis Ball said: "Both of them have been great supporters of FWD and have helped us tremendously over the course of many years. So we want to mark their retirements and show our appreciation and affection to them at what will be their last FWD annual conference working for their current firms."
