Richard started his career with the SARIA (formerly PDM Group in the UK) in a Process planning and Quality Control role before transferring to the commercial team in 2008. His current role involves the national management of raw material supplies to SARIA’s rendering, petfood ingredient manufacturing and food waste processing plants.

Richard has been a key figure in the development of ReFood’s customer base, working closely with key local, regional and national suppliers to optimise the efficiency of the Doncaster plant supply chain.

Following on from the success of the Doncaster plant, Richard and his team further developed the customer base for the Widnes and London ReFood plants.

In addition to controlling the supply of raw material to the ReFood plants and managing the wide range of key customers, Richard also has responsibility for developing the agricultural markets for the organic fertilisers produced by the AD process.

She has since progressed to become the Manager of the Service Delivery Centre.

As well as setting up and managing the Service Delivery department to ensure the best customer service to all of ReFood’s clients, Laura works alongside depot managers to monitor individual teams and maintain the highest standard. Laura takes full responsibility for the flow of data between ReFood’s commercial / supply chain and account teams and is also closely involved in the development of the ReFood brand through local marketing and trade events across the region.
