We are very excited to announce that Barbara Bray, one of Verner Wheelock\u2019s trainers has been awarded an MBE for services to food nutrition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barbara, who was at Verner Wheelock last week delivering our Auditing Skills<\/a> and Auditing Refresher<\/a> courses, was thrilled and a little overwhelmed by the news. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

She said \u201cIt was a huge surprise to receive a nomination for\nthe Queen\u2019s Birthday Honours list and I was incredibly grateful to receive the\naward. Twenty four years ago when I started my career in the agri-food sector,\nI never expected that my journey would bring me to this point. I spend an\nincreasing amount of my time with women in the early part of their careers in\nthe agri-food sector and I feel it is particularly important to mentor, support\nand advocate for them. Receiving this award will motivate me even further to\ncontinue with that support and be a role model for the next generation of black\nBritish scientists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as training classroom-based and in-house courses in\nHACCP, Auditing and related subjects for Verner Wheelock, Barbara is a Director\nof the Oxford Farming Conference. In addition, she sits on committees for the\nInstitute of Food Science and Technology and The Nutrition Society\u2019s Training\nAcademy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alison Wheelock, our MD, said \u201cWe are all very pleased for Barbara. She\u2019s a professional who consistently achieves good examination results for our course delegates and is passionate about her work. She has a relaxed training style and calm and friendly manner, which puts the delegates at ease and we always receive excellent feedback about her courses \u2013 which is a great reflection on our company.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barbara Bray is the second of our trainers to receive an MBE. Our HACCP and Food Safety trainer, Paul Bache<\/a>, was awarded an MBE for services to the meat industry in 2007.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
