This arm of the business will be headed up by new recruit, Dave Wheeler a procurement specialist, with over thirty years’ experience importing ingredients from around the world.

During my career I have travelled from country to country sourcing and importing rare ingredients, and will continue to build upon my portfolio to ensure our customers receive the best and most authentic products available.”

“We are delighted to welcome Dave on board, his extensive knowledge and wealth of experience is invaluable.”
