Bio

A Food & Drink Expert with over 25 years' experience working with global brands. I set up HRA Global as a new kind of consultancy, one that combines professional and effective Market Research, Marketing and Commercial Services with a friendly, personal approach. It's been a great journey and today we continue to grow, driven by that original ethos, forging deep and lasting relationships with clients, partners and team members alike. We never forget that it’s people who drive our success. Our Vision is simple: > To be known as the best food and drink consultancy in Europe. > We are committed to growing our business through continuously developing our people, investing in the latest knowledge, innovation and techniques, developing deep and productive partnerships and always delivering for our clients. Our Values: Fresh Authentic Curious Trusted Before working with HRA Global, clients told us they heard themselves saying: ''I'm worried because our brand doesn't stand out in such a competitive market'' ''I'm concerned that we haven't fully got our channels or routes to market right yet'' ''I'm frustrated we have a great new product, yet we don't know if anyone will list it, or buy it!'' Since working with usclients have reported: > Successful brand launch delivering retail sales of £3,257,000 in the first year alone > New retail listings gained for established brands in Tesco, Asda, Waitrose, Morrisons, Sainsburys > Profitable growth in market share, rate of sale & revenue per unit. Titles including The Grocer, Water Innovation and Dairy Innovation magazines regularly ask me to write for them. You can often see me chairing industry conferences such as the annual Foods Matters Live, Free From Expo, the Allergy Show and Global Dairy NPD Conference. I'm also asked to serve as a judge for awards such as the Grocer Gold awards, Food Beverages Awards and Dairy Innovations awards.
