Brian Homewood- Managing Director Grampian Country Pork Suffolk

Dr Head joined Grampian Country Pork Suffolk in November as an interim Technical Director.

In that time Dr Head has made tremendous steps forward with both the department and our customers and has ensured processes and policies have been brought up to date. This has led to our teams following them without question and has left our customers in no doubt of our commitment to them.

With Dr Heads help we have updated our version of Q-Pulse and have trained all required staff on the elements of this system and what potential it has and with continued work our policies and processes are in the process of being moved to this version.

I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Head for your role and can assure you of her commitment to your company.

Without a doubt Jo is an extremely professional, committed hard working individual who has a remarkable skill to seek and deliver win win solutions. Her ability to extract and then define a clear strategy using her knowledge of the Food industry and related regulations is quite unique and testament to her advisory capacity to organisations like the UK Food Standards Agency. There are few businesses that would not benefit from her vision and expertise.” October 22, 2008

We have worked with Jo to deliver FSA-funded research in the meat sector. We found her to be easy to work with and someone with a high degree of specialist technical knowledge. Jo has an unusually high awareness of practicality, costs of implementation and other factors that are important for business.

I have been privileged to know and work with Jo Head for the last twenty years, since meeting her in J Sainsbury as head of the food microbiology section, Jo has been a clear and forthright thinker and a deliverer of change and progress ever since.

As Chair of the Red meat advisory group, working within the FSA, I have found her to be very professional, knowledgeable and able to get to the heart of issues and to debate the subject very effectively. Her knowledge on practical issues relating to food factory safety, hygiene issues, food contamination risk and reduction, and legislation knowledge is second to none.

I have no hesitation in recommending her as a person, as an adviser and also as an effective and positive consultant in the food industry.
