**Head of Supply Chain**

At The Flava People we know that just creating great tasting sauces & seasonings is no longer enough and we know this because its what we’ve been doing for over 45 years. Truth is, if we’re all working to the same trend reports, industry insights, menu mapping and range reviewssooner or later, we all end up battling for a share of consumers’ attention, armed with slightly different iterations of the same ‘innovative’ products. To truly add value, in today’s highly competitive market, we harness the _power of brands_, bringing them to life for consumers across every single touchpoint; whether that’s on shelf at your local supermarket, in a butcher’s counter or on the menu at your favourite pub.
