The two company directors were both previously employed in the same UK food research institute (Campden BRI), and both did higher degrees at the University of Leeds. Nick May has over 30 years’ experience on food thermal processes, working in factories all over the world, auditing or setting up new processes. He still occasionally carries out focused audits of heat process safety. He participated in the writing of a number of guidelines and code of practise which are recognised as UK food industry standards. Nick is also a member of the US Institute for Thermal Process Specialists (IFTPS), and able to help on FDA filing. James Luo has been working in food thermal process validation since 2012, and has scheduled over 500 thermal processes for factories in the UK and across the world.
