What was your first-ever job? Temping in the sales admin department of a confectionery company. After a couple of weeks, the company offered me a full-time role.

What was your worst job interview? It was a thirdstage job interview for a well-known ambient food company. They asked me to complete an exercise to demonstrate whether I could do the job, but I didn’t have a clue where to start so I had to call the interviewer back in and tell them I couldn’t do it. I was so embarrassed I made my apologies and made a rather hasty exit.

What was the first music single you bought? Respectable by Mel & Kim.

If you could pick a celebrity to join your staff who would it be and why? A celebrity chef would be good to help with NPD!

If you could change one thing in the grocery industry what would it be? Our business uses pretty much all the major commodities such as sugar, oil and cocoa, so stability of commodities that help the entire supply chain would be great.

What luxury would you have on your desert island? Gourmet food cooked for me every day, especially dishes that would capitalise all the delicious seafood that would be available!
