"I knew something of the excellent work done by the Chilled Food Association during my retail years, so was quick to sign Hazlewood Foods to CFA in 1994. Only then did I realise the deserved reputation of CFA was entirely the result of Kaarin's efforts. Needless to say I added Northern Foods to CFA in 1998, 2 Sisters in 2011 and Brookes Avana in 2012. Kaarin's professionalism is probably best demonstrated by her MBE for Services to the Food Industry: her personal qualities by her appointment, following my recommendation, for many years to the Governing Board of UKAS Certification Body No. 199. Kaarin gets great results because of her expertise, influence and integrity."
