Why did you decide to go for a career in food? My career choice towards was less about the food industry and more about the opportunity to be a part of a business that I could believe in. More and more graduates and other professionals are wanting to join companies that really care about our planet and are proactively working to benefit people, communities and the environment. Being just at the beginning of my career, having previously interned in large organisations such as The Central Bank of Ireland and continuously worked in Ireland’s largest equestrian retailer throughout my university days, I had experienced a mix of sizes of organisations and industries already. The food industry was one I had not explored yet, so I was ready to dive right in and learn as much as possible. Eleven months later and I would happily do it all again, the experience has been phenomenal.
