I have to thanks Ester for the Technical and the Management skills that I developed when working with her which has helped me to progress within the Food Industry. She has a wide knowledge of Food Safety, Animal welfare and Food Legislation. Also these days I keep asking her for advice when I need it! It was a great pleasure working with her
