New chef boosts U&S development plans

Clean label ingredients specialists Ulrick & Short has announced the appointment of Richard Squire as development consultant chef.

The company says that Squire will play a key role in creating food samples, providing potential customers with an all encompassing visual taste and texture experience.

This will be achieved during cookery demonstrations during which Ulrick & Short's clean label ingredients will be used within the food application.

His input is designed to help inspire food developers and deliver ideas which will create and convert culinary concepts into superior end products to meet the latest consumer demands.
