$100m Infant Formula Factory Project (2003–2009)

I am happy to have been involved in a major new infant formula factory project with Watson Dairy Consulting. John Watson managed the project from start to completion and was the main liaison between all suppliers, ensuring that delivery and quality was as required by the project. As the turnkey factory project provider, we are very happy with the professional manner in which Watson Dairy Consulting looked after the interests of the suppliers and the client.

20-Year Working Relationship: Mozzarella, Baby Food Production

I have known John Watson for almost 20 years and during that time John has been involved in the development of a number of major dairy projects ranging from Mozzarella production to Baby Food manufacture from drawing board to full production. John is a professional through and through and his attention to detail is second to none. John has a firm grasp of commercial development and has his feet firmly on the ground and I would trust his advice to be based on sound logic.
