I started out in the fresh produce industry in the UK in 1978. This coincided with the UK supermarkets adopting cold chain principles for all fresh produce. My background in refrigeration engineering enabled me to become one of the pioneers and key developers in the cold chain preservation and sustainability system used in the USA, UK, and Europe and increasingly worldwide. 

 My knowledge of the food industry and Agri business is extensive.  I have spent 36 years working with fresh food and adding value.
