University duo get a taste for NPD marketing at Dalziel Ingredients

Posted on August 27th, 2019

Dalziel Ingredients, the UK’s bespoke seasoning blends, cures and functional blends specialist, has strengthened its ties with Northumbria University by recruiting students Lauren Wilson and Rachael Yoong on one-year placements in its expanding NPD team.

Lauren, who is studying Marketing Management, is Dalziel’s first student placement in a marketing role. She will focus on market research in food trends, such as flavour, cuisine and menu trends, and customer profiling.

Rachael, a Food Science and Nutrition student, joins as a quality assurance technician. Originally from Malaysia, she came to the UK as part of a degree transfer programme to complete her second and final year studies.

In her new role, Rachael is tasked with testing samples ensuring they meet quality specifications, as well as validating the production lines by swabbing for allergens.

Dalziel has a long association with the university, having taken on 10 food science and nutrition students on work placement since 2008.

Its 15-strong NPD team advises snack food manufacturers across the world on flavour trends, market analysis, factory processes, recipe formulations and product quality enhancements (salt reductions, cleaner labels, flavour boosts, lower usage rates, added protein).

Dalziel takes its responsibility with university placements very seriously, said Dr Julie Young, Programme Leader for the BSc Food Science and Nutrition programmes and Programme Co-ordinator Master of Public Health in Nutrition at Northumbria University: “We have a great ongoing relationship with Dalziel. Our students have a fantastic opportunity to gain real-world experience as part of their degree programme where they can apply their knowledge in practice and we know that they will be exposed to the highest professional standards at Dalziel.”

At its state-of-the-art factory and new product development centre in Gateshead, Dalziel Ingredients manufactures a wide range of bespoke dry blends – seasonings, complete mixes, rubs, glazes, functional blends, batters, flavoured crumbs, snack seasonings, cures and brines for any meat, savoury, sweet, vegetarian or vegan product. Its dedicated gluten free line means its products are available as gluten free.

Together, Dalziel’s NPD team has over 80 years’ experience in the food Industry, explained the company’s NPD director Fran Hutton, who is also a Food Science and Nutrition graduate of Northumbria University.

She said: “The diversity in our skills sets us apart in terms of our experience and industry knowledge. Lauren and Rachael’s roles are key as we seek to develop a global platform for our products.”

Dalziel Ingredients expands sales team

Posted on February 13th, 2019

Dalziel Ingredients, the UK specialist in bespoke seasoning blends, cures and functional ingredients, has strengthened its sales team with two key appointments, underlining the firm’s commitment to customer service as it grows.

Gill Skipper joins as technical sales account manager, after 29 years working in the food manufacturing industry with Tulip Ltd. Latterly she was product technologist developing snacking, party food and seasonal food products – sausages, scotch eggs, pies and hand-held food – for the UK’s biggest supermarkets.

In her new role, Gill is tasked with developing customer relationships and using her long experience in manufacturing to support clients on their product development.

She said: “Having worked closely with Dalziel over many years, I’m very excited to have this opportunity with them (Dalziel) to apply my skills in a sales role, visiting customers and developing their new product ideas.”

James Cowen also becomes technical sales account manager at Dalziel Ingredients. Having started his career with Dalziel 24 years ago, latterly as purchasing manager, he brings a great understanding of product development to his new role.

Their appointments reflect the company’s strong track record of growth, resulting in Dalziel’s major £2.5m expansion at its Felling, Gateshead factory and new product development centre.

Richard Wilson, Dalziel Ingredients’ sales director, said: “We’ve seen a sharp increase in demand globally for our bespoke ingredients products. These appointments demonstrate our commitment to first class customer service as we grow, and we’re delighted to welcome Gill and James to the team.”

Dalziel Ingredients advises food manufacturers across the UK on flavour trends, market analysis, factory processes, recipe formulations and product quality enhancements (increasing yields, salt reductions, improved texture and fat reduction).

All Dalziel Ingredients’ products – seasonings, complete mixes, rubs, glazes, functional blends, flavoured batters, flavoured crumbs, snack seasonings, cures and brines – can be developed as gluten free at Dalziel’s purpose built, BRC accredited dry blending site. Existing products can reformulated as gluten free.
