We
are growing . . .
Hawkins Watts Ltd acquired the food ingredient division of
Robert
Importers Ltd, in December 2007.
Our portfolio has expanded to incorporate:
Amedeo Giovanni (Italy),
who specialise in the manufacture of citrus oils;
Colloides
Naturels Inc (France), the world’s largest manufacturer
and supplier of Gum Acacia; and
Lionel Hitchen (Essential Oils)
Ltd (UK), Europe’s largest manufacturer of oleoresins
and spice extracts, with some of the office favourites being: thyme,
rosemary, roast garlic and a very special roasted cumin.
We
are also thrilled to welcome
Graeme Nealie to
the team. Graeme brings with him a wealth of experience in
the flavours and aromatics area.
Our next
Hawkins Watts New Zealand Training Seminar,
which will be ‘
Oleoresins and Oils for Beginners’,
due around June/July 2008. These events have proved to be very popular
indeed.
Changing of the guard . . .
It
is with great sadness, that we say goodbye to our Customer
Services Manager, Tonia Duff, who will be
moving to Hawke’s Bay (a.k.a. Greener Pastures) at
the end of May 2008.
Tonia has been an integral part and valued member of our team; making
our order processing systems hassle free. We would like to sincerely
thank Tonia, for her contribution and wish her much luck in her future
endeavours. We have no doubt that she will be an asset wherever she
goes.
Tonia, we will miss you!
Anabelle
Boret is a key member of our
quality and technical team, and has a
MSc in Biochemistry from Nantes, France. 
Jessica
Brown is our new receptionist
and most likely the first person you’ll
talk to if you phone or visit Hawkins Watts
Ltd. She is studying part-time at Manukau
Institute of Technology.
