With a BSc in Microbiology, experience as a Micro Water Analyst, and a NEBOSH Diploma in Health & Safety, Matt brings a science-driven, safety-first mindset to every project. He joined the team in 2012 following a successful work placement—and hasn’t looked back since.

Completing the NEBOSH Diploma entirely through self-directed online study, he stood out as the only student in his cohort to do so without classroom support—an impressive testament to his discipline, resilience, and commitment to professional growth.

From Army kitchens to international audit rooms, Alan brings over two decades of frontline and behind-the-scenes food safety experience. Starting as a professional chef at 16, he rose to WO1 in the British Army, overseeing catering operations in high-pressure environments.

After transitioning into civilian life, he became a trusted expert in food safety, auditing, and compliance – working with global airlines, certification bodies, and now as a consultant helping businesses achieve and maintain certification with confidence.

With extensive experience across a wide range of food sectors, including fisheries, bakeries, butcheries, fresh produce, chilled and frozen foods, high-risk products, confectionery, dairy, and packaging, Ioannis brings deep technical knowledge to every project.

He also specialises in food labelling compliance and factory design, offering practical, regulation-ready solutions to support safe and efficient operations.
