- Maintain and develop our HACCP systems, review technical performance, analyse trends, and identify opportunities for improvement.
- Oversee supplier approval processes, manage specifications across all brands and retail customers, support new product development and factory trials, and ensure customer complaints are investigated thoroughly with appropriate corrective actions implemented.
- Be visible within the operation, collaborating with colleagues across departments, championing food safety culture and helping to create an environment where people feel supported, valued and empowered to succeed.
