My role entails working with lots of different pieces of high-tech kit and bespoke formulation robots. I'm currently working on developing assays which our brands can use to test their products. It's not all science though, much of my time is spent in meetings learning about the business and helping to deliver key projects, and I enjoy the split between the two.
I was originally interested in the Pharmaceutical Industry. However, I am glad I looked at other options because I love working in the Food Industry and really enjoy my job.
