Princess Heidi has formally joined the Palace as part of the Loyal Royals in Muizenberg. We manufacture an awesome range of Pesto, sauces, soups and dips , all fresh, full of flavour and clean label. I am proud to be part of such an amazing royal family. I have managed to update documents, work instructions and policies. Internal training was created and implemented. Comprehensive testing schedule based on risk was put in place and maintained. I was able to maintain a 95% and above score for external (FSA Intertek) audits. Sadly I was retrenched this year due to operational requirements. Show less
