Can you describe your everyday work in a few sentences?

My work revolves around maintaining the quality and safety of our herbs. I conduct inspections, check the herbs in a controlled environment and oversee the production process to ensure everything meets our high standards. Every day starts with setting priorities in the Quality Team: which herbs need to be checked first to ensure they’re ready for production? We coordinate this with the logistics department. Carrying out quality-related tasks involves constant collaboration with various departments in the company, including Sourcing, Supply Chain, Production, Logistics and others.

What do you enjoy most about your role as Senior Quality Controller?

I love the analytical aspects of my work, especially conducting quality tests and developing guidelines to ensure our herbs meet all the applicable standards. It’s always a rewarding moment when I can confirm that a batch has passed all quality checks, knowing that our customers will receive only the freshest, highest-quality herbs. I also achieve great satisfaction from my role as a trainer of quality controllers.

What stood out to you during your first week at work?

  • The aroma of herbs in the production room … mmm!

  • Very young and enthusiastic management

  • The very streamlined processes and the high quality standards in the quality team

Which herb would you compare yourself with and why?
I would compare myself with basil. In the same way that basil enhances a dish with its vibrant flavour, I believe I enhance the company with my dedication to quality.

What was your best ever day at work?

It isn’t just a single day, but something that happens annually and that’s the run-up to Christmas. The festive spirit in the air, all of us working together like a well-oiled machine and the additional activities ensure that we consistently achieve record results in terms of herb production. The pleasant atmosphere, delicious treats, competitions and the shared fun help us forget that we’re far away from our families during this busy time.
