WELCOME TO THE SOFHT FOCUS SPRING SPECIAL EDITION 2024…

At last the snowdrops and daffodils are out and fingers crossed the weather will improve and the fields will get a chance to recover from all this rain! In this edition we ‘focus’ on our recent BRCGS pre-requisites conference in Stoke on Trent. I was disappointed not to be able to attend but have seen lots of positive feedback from attendees, speakers and exhibitors alike. The event was, as usual, very well organised by Karen and the team with attendees finding it useful and insightful with great connections made. Peter Littleton, our Event and Training Director has produced an excellent summary of the day which can be found on page 8 – thanks for doing this Peter. Copies of the presentations are also available in the Members Area of our SOFHT website here: https://sofht.co.uk/login/ The spotlight on a SOFHT Director in the edition is Dawn Welham, Quality Assurance Director – Aldi Stores Ltd. Dawn is interviewed by our Chair, Alan Lacey and answers questions on how she got into the food industry and how she spends her limited spare time. Thanks again Alan and Dawn for sharing this interesting insight. The next edition will be following our Summer Lecture & AGM at the National Memorial Arboretum which promises to be a fantastic event. I’m really looking forward to hearing from our Honorary President, Professor Chris Elliott and catching up with everyone. So make sure you get your place booked. In the meantime, you can hear from Chris in his first article as Honorary President of SOFHT on page 5. Finally, as ever if you have any feedback, ideas or would like to share an article in the SOFHT Focus please do get in touch.
