Colin in the news

Wow, you Google yourself and you never know what you'll get...

Just found a piece Food Manufacture did last year called An eye for peas

This is how they say what I do:

Next time you throw a pack of frozen peas into your supermarket trolley, give a thought to the huge list of people that have helped to ensure that the peas are: a) in that freezer for you to buy in the first place and b) that they taste consistently good when you get them home. Indeed, it is a little known fact that on average, everyone in Britain eats nearly 9000 peas a year, so you can see how much effort is required from the people who supply them.

One of these people is Colin Wright. He is head of agriculture for Unilever Ice Cream and Frozen Foods and so he’s a pretty key person in the chain. He’s a nice man though, so he argues that everyone in the process: from agronomist, to farmer, to fieldsman, to agriculture manager, to factory worker, is crucial to the process of ensuring that every single pea is picked and frozen within two and a half hours.
