A PIONEER in the food industry has joined one of the UK’s biggest ingredient firms to help facilitate the company’s next phase of growth.
Susie Turan, a seasoned professional in the food industry, has joined Macphie Ltd as Head of Product and Innovation to play a pivotal role in adding fresh-thinking to the firm’s impressive product portfolio.
Known for creating freezer favourites like Magnum Double, Solero Berry and Vegan Carte D’Or, Susie has held senior roles at the likes of Unilever, Genius Foods and Finsbury Foods.
With over three decades of accomplishments in the food sector, the London-born R&D specialist is now set to head up a Product Development team at the Aberdeen-shire based firm.
Susie said: “Macphie is an absolute leader in its field for a reason so I’m thrilled to now be playing a part in that. The values of the brand and the opportunities within its product range instantly sang to me.
“I’ve had a really varied career path and the original plan wasn’t to be in the food industry. After gaining a PhD in Chemistry, I joined Unilever’s laundry department developing sensors that made washing machines more eco friendly. From there, I moved across to its food division and I’ve not looked back since.
