Testimonials from my clients and partners

“Veryan is brilliant to work with and a real gem in our industry. She has an amazingly positive "can do" attitude and approaches challenge in a way that inspires those around her to succeed. When I first moved into Fresh Produce Veryan took me under her wing and was a huge help in developing my product knowledge, but she was also open to understanding my point of view through a different lens. The art of a good leader! Well respected and recognised in her field, Veryan adds a real spark to those she works alongside and is a huge asset to the companies she works with. "
