Bio
Ashvin Patel
Darren has a passion for the Nutraceutical industry and this shows in his ambition to drive innovation and provide solutions both to the small entrepreneurial industry and the multinationals alike. Having worked with Darren for over 5 years and in my role as Group Commercial Director, it soon became clear that Darren has vast knowledge and experience, not only in the UK, but in Europe, Middle East and Asia and having to deal with suppliers and customers alike across these territories, meant that exposure to cultural differences and local market knowledge became an important asset and for Darren, he put this to good use. A half glass-full person, always an optimist and never shy to talk to anyone be it for sales or marketing or social interaction, Darren achieves his goal with his dedication and hard work. A person with many talents combining business & technical developments, commercial discussions, financial and contractual reviews, product sourcing and customer service, providing industry trends and marketing. His experience over the years says it all. All the best.

I consider Darren one of those rare individuals who is able to form strong and meaningful professional relationships quickly across multi-levels within the sector, a proven achiever who has a firm grasp on the industry business priorities.
