  • Nov 2018 - Aug 2022

  We continue to build on the foundations put in over the last few years in building the teams who are now further developing our engagement with business and partners to raise awareness of what fraud looks like in the food chain, so that by working together we continue to build and strengthen resilience to fraud and deal with it where we can. It's been rewarding and I relish the ongoing challenges in this dynamic area to serve and protect the public. If you're involved in the food business and want to know more please get in touch.
