About me
As the founder of Food NPD I boast over 20 years’ experience in New Product Development (NPD) and Management within the food Industry. I have successfully created and brought to market many new food products across all sections of the prepared consumer foods industry.
Qualified and experienced in Food Science and Innovation with EU Food Legislation, Culinary arts, Marketing and Branding, I also have a proven record in the successful research, development and commercialisation of many award winning new food products in Ireland, the UK and Europe.
As a result of my previous experience I am aware of the challenges involved in managing Multiple NPD projects across Food Business SME’s and large Food Corporates.
I am honoured to support businesses of many variations in streamlining their NPD processes, to automate specific stages, align business activities and reduce overall time to market.
My team and I would be delighted to support you in your development and progression.

A few facts about me
Family is a strong factor
In my work and personal life. I am a proud dad and husband and successfully support many other families in business also . My client base includes a large percentage of family, sibling or spouse based teams as well as the larger corporations. Both of equal importance in the industry.
I love food
Living on the Wild Atlantic way I get to experience good food of all types. Locally sourced produce, creatively prepared, from the sea, the land, organic, raw, from the family based kitchen, the market or from the many world class restaurants and food suppliers that we boast here. I know the industry and I thrive on being a part of it. Details are important to me.
I believe in the importance of balance.
I love adventure, family time and the outdoors. One of the factors I like to support my clients in, is implementing processes through teams and individuals. I want to support you in creating a balance of work and life through the use of efficient and reliable systems.
Success comes from our health, state of mind and doing some of what we love.
Health and nutrition is a large part of Food NPD and therefore I like to share my knowledge in this area.
