It’s always a tough call between coffee and beer. Coming from a craft beer background and being a self confessed beer nerd, I naturally have a soft spot for the beer world, and I still have plenty of close friends working across the industry. That said, coffee has been just as exciting to work in over the past few years. Both sectors are incredibly passionate, incredibly technical, and full of people who genuinely care about flavour and quality!
One of the most rewarding challenges has been planning and delivering major global conferences as an exhibitor. There is a lot happening behind the scenes, from designing the booth and refining the key messages to organising marketing materials, demonstrations, and the overall customer experience at the stand. What makes it satisfying is when all that planning comes together during the event. The stand is busy, conversations are flowing, and you see real opportunities starting from those first interactions. After months of preparation, being face to face with customers and our global team makes it one of the most enjoyable parts of the role.
FlavorActiV has a genuinely global team, and it’s amazing to work with colleagues from different countries, backgrounds, and areas of expertise. Everyone brings different experiences and ideas, which makes the work really interesting and means there’s always something new to learn from each other.
Iceland. It's one of those places that feels completely different from anywhere else. The landscapes are incredibly dramatic, with volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls, and black sand beaches all within relatively short distances of each other. It almost feels like being on another planet.
