Every day is different, which to me, is great. As a product manager, you're responsible for your own portfolio, from top to bottom and everything in between. With that comes responsibility but also the autonomy to drive initiatives and make improvements. Interacting with a large number of stakeholders is also crucial, including planning, sourcing, clinical education, and sales.

I've worked on many things since I started, but the most significant was introducing our first sustainable component into our range - a sugarcane byproduct kidney dish, which reduces over 80% of CO2 emissions. From getting the product approved for use to launching it to the sales team and educating our customers, this is one project I'm particularly proud of. And it's just the start, I can't wait to launch similar products to our customers as we make a bigger difference, together.

The people. I love the supportive culture of the team and that, despite our varied roles and focus, we're all striving for the same thing - to be better for our customers. Every day we're trying to be easy to partner with, problem solvers, and providers of good value.

Right now, being sustainable can be expensive, but for sustainability to work, it needs to be economical. That's something I believe in and something I will use my position - and passion - to help change. When it comes to sustainability, we'll keep pushing the boundaries to find out what’s possible. We've now got a dedicated ESG [Environment, Social, and Governance] Manager which will help us do more, and go further.

We’ve come a long way to where we are today. But equally, we’ve got a long way to go. We’ve got ambitious goals – but wouldn’t have it any other way. Most of all, we’re looking forward to the journey to have a greater impact on our people, planet, and product for years to come. Find out more.
