Naturediet announces newcomers
As organisations struggle to cope with the downturn in the economy, Naturediet is looking to expand its operations to meet the increasing demand for its products in domestic and European markets. The Norfolk-based company announces Paul Clark as its new site engineer, and Terence Hills as its production manager. Paul Clark, a former civil servant, is an engineer specialising in computerised maintenance management systems. Terence Hills joins Naturediet with a wealth of manufacturing experience gained within large multinational companies and smaller privately owned ventures.

Backer Associates’ next show is the 43rd Annual Pet Industry Christmas Trade Show from 2-4 October in Rosemont.

The event involved buyers from Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Romania and Sweden who met nearly 40 suppliers in one-to-one business-generating meetings. Ingrid Talving of Bramham Trade AS, Estonia’s largest distributor in the pet care sector, was one buyer who left the meeting with a whole range of product samples and stated that much business would result from her visit. Following the positive comments from buyers and suppliers alike, Amanda Sizer Barrett, the director general of Gardenex and PetQuip added: “The…
