Meet the Team

Our Site Operators, Future Food Partnership CIC and its team of technical experts have many years of experience providing technical and product development support to businesses.

We know that setting up and operating a food and drink business can be difficult at times due to the growing number of regulations in the industry.

It may be that you don’t have the technical expertise in-house, or that you simply don’t have the time to manage compliance. You may want to expand your current offering but don’t know where to start.
