Laura Moulding | Foundation Degree in Dairy Technology 2018 (Eden programme)
“We’re an independent dairy producing yoghurt and cultured products. I wanted to learn about the latest technology and machinery and how this could help meet demand for our own products.
Thanks to my studies I’ve progressed into my current role and doubled the size of the dairy, and we’ve increased output by becoming more automated. I’m also able to carry out British Retail Consortium audits and product development. The Food Centre’s technical staff are continuing to support me and are an absolute credit to Reaseheath. I and Little Town Dairy wouldn’t be where we are without them!”
