This is where so many people find issue with experts; they hire someone who prescribes themselves expert, and they may well be, but find the advice given to be either incompatible with their company or not tailored to it. It only serves to follow that someone who has dedicated their professional life to a specific part of a sector would have much more valuable experience and insight than someone who has only delved superficially across a plethora of different sectors. After all, PhDs aren’t awarded to those students turning their hand to as wide array of topics as possible, but the ones who dedicated their time and energies to a specific niche. ‘From field to fork’ is a buzzword beloved of the media for its apparent ability to capture the length and breadth of the food and drink supply chain in one term. While undoubtedly easily applicable, the phrase does the industry a disservice, downplaying the complexity of the supply chain and the massive number of players working within it. There are many moving parts tessellating together to ensure that the journey from field to plate is as smooth, safe and efficient as possible. That’s why our ‘meet the experts’ pages look to highlight all the players that enable the supply chain to function and have them share their expertise and insight. © stock.adobe.com/ Syda Productions For over sixteen years, Evolution BPS have been providing state of the art, innovative equipment for all parts of bottling and packaging lines to food and drinks sectors.
