Episode Notes

In this week’s episode, we have a wonderful conversation with Joanne Elsdon who is Head of Food at one of the UK’s largest Food Manufacturers and also co-founder of the Food industry mentoring scheme “Flourish in Food”.

 

We talk to Jo about her varied career in Food which spans across manufacturing, retail and freelance consulting – and she shares with us the things she wishes she had known earlier in her career. She tells how she and two Food industry colleagues founded the “Flourish in Food” mentoring scheme during the first UK Covid lockdown, born out of a passion for encouraging the development of new talent in the industry.

 

In addition to her busy work life,  Jo shares some of her well being tips of what she gets up to outside of this including her adventurous cold water dips to simple and relaxing things such as switching off and enjoying some reality t.v which let’s face it is so necessary from time to time!

 

It was such a pleasure to chat to Jo and we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.
