A Day In The Life - Quality Manager

Quality managers help to ensure that the food on our plate is safe to eat. Increasingly, they aim to make food products traceable, so that we know which farm and even which animal our food came from. Meet Richie Bennett, Quality Manager at ABP UK, to explore what a career in quality management is all about.

Richie explains how he ensures that ABP UK factories produce high quality food in a safe and legal environment, as part of the EIT Food ‘Day in the Life’ video series.

The predicted labour shortage in the agri-food industry by 2030 coupled with the lack of careers information young people receive on food and farming roles has driven the development of this series. The agri-food industry has a variety of exciting jobs on offer throughout the food value chain. As such, this video series aims to inspire young audiences to consider a career within the agri-food sector.

We recommend this video for teenagers and young adults to learn about what a job as quality manager involves.
