Head of Nutrition & Sustainability
Tess is a Registered Dietitian with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and brings extensive experience across the field of nutrition and dietetics having worked in major London teaching hospitals and led a nutrition consultancy firm.
Our consultancy is flexible to suit your needs — we offer a blend of in-person visits and remote support. Whether it’s on-site assessments, team training, or remote menu planning, we tailor our approach to ensure you get expert guidance in the most effective and convenient way.
We support your sustainability goals by reviewing your food supply chain to identify more responsible, ethical sourcing opportunities. Our sustainability dashboards provide clear visibility of your progress. We also offer innovative ideas for lower carbon impact menus — including cost-effective ingredient swaps and hero recipes — helping you reduce your environmental impact without compromising on quality or budget. This can include waste reduction and actually identify cost efficiencies, as an added bonus.
Absolutely. Reducing food waste not only supports your sustainability goals but also saves costs and improves efficiency. Our team of experienced ex-caterers understand the day-to-day challenges you face and offer practical, tailored support. We can help you pinpoint areas of waste across the entire supply chain — from ordering and storage to portion control and menu planning — so you can take targeted action and see measurable results.
Definitely. Our team provides expert insight into food inflation, global political impacts, and the effects of climate change on food production — all of which influence your costs. We help you navigate these challenges with practical, cost-effective solutions designed to mitigate risk and help you stay in control, both now and in the long term, to make your food spend go further.
From food procurement and supply chain management to compliance support, sustainability consultancy, expert dietetic advice, and so much more – we offer a full range of services to help you run a smarter, more efficient food operation.
