Good Morning,

I’m Verner Wheelock and I’m the Chairman of Verner Wheelock Associates, one of the UK’s leading providers of specialist training for the food sector.

I’ve been in the industry for over 30 years and have spent time being a microbiologist, food engineer and headed up the Food Science faculty at Nottingham University. Since 1990 I and my colleagues have been providing support, consultancy and training for numerous blue chip organisations as well as contributing to government policy.

I’m really proud to be one of the founding partners of the Food, Drink & Hospitality e-Academy as I think that appropriate use of e-learning can bring benefits to us, by helping reduce our carbon foot print, through less travel, improved quality through consistency of delivery and improved customer service through providing a more flexible delivery model.

Each week I’ll be giving you a quick update on my take on the current state of the food sector, which I hope will stimulate some interesting debate. I do hope you’ll sign up to my rss feed or if you’ve got a burning question relating to food or food training then do send it in and I’ll try to respond as soon as I can.
