I’ve had the pleasure of working with Yvonne prior to her consultancy (as a consultant myself) and since swapping roles she has provided us with food safety support for a variety of topics. She’s one of the rare group of experts who can combine a robust scientific risk assessment approach with practical operational knowledge to guide optimal evidence-based risk management decisions. I have no hesitation in recommending her to food safety colleagues.
