What Client’s Say

  • During the 2 years David worked for me as Technical Manager of one of the largest and most complex chilled food sites in Europe he provided me with an exceptional level of competence and assurance on matters of food safety and quality. David fosters excellent relations with customers and colleagues alike and delivered the most technically challenging launch period I have encountered.

    Richard Stowey

    Richard StoweySite Director at RF Brookes, Rogerstone Park (2010/2012)

  • During his career, (David) has assisted the sites in winning major awards from both the Chairman and Customers alike. His role has also played a fundamental part in the sites successfully achieving higher level accreditation in many audits undertaken including BRC.

    David is loyal and hard working, highly motivated and displays total professionalism in anything he undertakes. He sets himself and others high standards and I would have no hesitation in recommending him for another position within a technical department
