Appointed as a Consultant to Arla
Being appointed as a technical consultant to Arla.
Following the successful completion of this first project for Arla, we received the following feedback:
“James has done an absolutely fantastic job for us at Arla. As category leaders we are always seeking ways to lead insight for our retailers and provide solutions that will help them meet their targets. The work James has done with us from an in-store sustainability perspective allows us to do this. James’s fact based; data led approach aligns to the scientific approach that we take at Arla and provides commercial rigour behind the ideas that he suggests. This gives us absolute confidence when we then share insight with retailers and allows us to deliver a clear impartial view. The detailed CO2 savings, energy savings and cost savings that he’s provided also helps us clearly prioritise initiatives and gives us the structure to help advise on the greatest wins. Also, not only is James a thoroughly sound engineer, but he’s also a genuinely lovely person to work with as well, making the past few months that we’ve worked together a truly great experience.”
Needless to say, we are delighted to receive such incredible feedback!
