THE TEAM
LINDA
I am passionate about food and love searching for new ingredients, cooking and eating the results!
My background was as a chef, having trained at the London School of Cordon Bleu. I established my own catering business for 16 years which involved the development of new recipes and menus, and led me to a career in food development.
I joined Long Clawson Dairy as Creative Development Chef in 1998. Since then, I have worked mainly in development and NPD roles in the cheese industry, latterly as Innovation and Product Director for Norseland UK.
I have built strong relationships with both key suppliers and retailers and I offer many innovative and creative culinary development services to enable your business to maximise its opportunity in the market place.
EMMA
I’ve always been fascinated by how people shop, the reasons we make decisions and looking at shopper behaviour. I am a foodie, love travelling and experiencing new products.
After starting in a point of sale company after studying Business Studies and Information Management at Sheffield University, I moved on to both sales and marketing roles for Dairy Crest and Muller for over 8 years. I worked with all the retailers, brands and own label products.
I enjoy providing strategic solutions for companies that best suit their needs and expertise, ensuring they are fit for the current food market.
