Dalziel Ingredients, the UK’s bespoke seasoning blends, cures and functional blends specialist, has added four new technologists to its ever-expanding team.
Emma Bolam has joined as Specification Technologist. She brings nearly 20 years’ experience to Dalziel, working her way up from preparation operative to quality inspector, junior development chef and NPD technologist, latterly at Mission Foods and before that at Greencore Group.
Ros Scott is appointed as NPD Technologist and joins from Cavanagh & Grey in Carlisle where she worked as process technologist for ready meals. Previously, she studied Food & Nutrition at Sheffield Hallam University.
Romania born Ionela Surugiu becomes Quality Technologist, having specialised in quality assurance since moving to the UK in 2014. Her most recent role was at Blue Earth Foods after three years at SK Chilled Foods.
And James Taylor becomes NPD Assistant having recently graduated from the University of Leeds where he studied chemistry and then gained a Masters degree in Food Science.
