I’d like to thank those around me including my family and friends, who have helped and encouraged me at every step along the way.” Moving forward, Stewart says ASKAFOODTECH™ will continue to supplement its growth alongside that of clients. “It is important to continue refining this business over time, to ensure we remain relevant. Food industry growth is incredibly complex. On the one hand, some larger organisations are looking to manage costs as they struggle to remain relevant to consumers. Some consolidation of larger businesses is still occurring. Other larger food manufacturing businesses and some gourmet food producers are booming. Since the pandemic we have seen an explosion of new food ventures, many of which need specialist technical support that business owners may not have factored in initially. Supply chain difficulties continue to impact companies of all sizes with shortages of raw and packaging materials, and delays in equipment delivery timeframes. Despite all of the current difficulties, one thing is for sure- we all need food to survive. Regardless of the external factors, I see a long-term need for specialist technical advice throughout the food industry; ASKAFOODTECH™ will continue to grow and adapt, so that we may service the industry’s needs in the future”.
