Testimonials

Sylvia’s knowledge extends beyond the rule book; she truly understands the restaurant side of our business. She empathises with our team and consistently puts in hard work. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Pip Lacey
Founder and Owner
Hicce, HicceHart, Little Pizza Hicce

Working in collaboration with our food consultant in Ireland, Sylvia used her skills and expertise to get our product into the UK market. In addition to the labels, she was also incredibly good at identifying and advising us on various food safety issues such as the permanent quality control of ingredients in order to avoid potential issues.

The end result is better because of Sylvia’s input thanks to her impressive knowledge, wealth of experience and exceptional level of service. She is also incredibly reliable, professional, kind and easy to communicate with. I would 100% recommend her to anyone related to the food industry.

Sanjin Stacevic
CEO
Sunny’s

Sylvia conducted a food safety audit and created a customised food safety management system, along with technical HACCP plans that integrated sous vide techniques for our unique dishes and our allergen matrix. Sylvia’s work approach is highly thorough. She demonstrates efficiency, rapid responsiveness and effective communication tailored to our requirements. Her expertise in her field is extensive.

Finding someone like Sylvia is rare these days, personalised service is fading away. What makes Sylvia special is her personal touch, and that’s the most important thing about her. We got a 5-star food hygiene rating and we couldn’t have done it without her.

Owner

I felt confident in approaching Sylvia as a Food Hygiene Expert for Idealo, a national money-saving campaign which focussed on food storage and extending the shelf life of common food items to ultimately save money. Sylvia advised on the correct place and way to store.

I was really impressed with her insights and technical knowledge around food safety and that she had been quoted before in the press. She is utterly amazing whilst being reliable, friendly, experienced, press friendly and responsive. Sylvia is without doubt the most informative food safety expert I have ever worked with on a press campaign.

Sylvia has been a valuable asset to our restaurant. Her positivity, in-depth industry knowledge, and chef background make her a standout consultant. She’s always available, solution-oriented and dives into every aspect of her role, from supplier relations to our procedures. Sylvia inspires continual improvement and is well-liked by our entire team.

We were recently inspected by the EHO and the team is so happy that we maintained our 5-star food hygiene rating.

Sylvia was fantastic to work with throughout the process, and our talent, learning design and production teams thoroughly enjoyed leading and learning from her. Her passion for and expertise in the topic was clear, as was her commitment to creating world class learning content that resonated with the audience. She was skilled at distilling her extensive knowledge down into short bite-sized learnings, and brought many relatable examples, stats and stories into the content. On many occasions Sylvia went beyond what was asked of her to get a result we were all really happy with. We are proud of the resulting course which is a testament to Sylvia’s unwavering dedication to creating high quality, engaging learning.
