Looking for Product Solutions and Services?
Blue Spark understands the dynamic nature of the food and drinks industry, and believes that the following range of solutions and services will be invaluable to clients.

We feel this is particularly so for new or growing businesses, who may not have the resource available for a permanent member of staff, but require expertise during key projects. You may be looking for innovative new ideas and direction, want to develop new skills within the team, or just need advice but don’t know who to ask.

Even more established companies can be caught out when deadlines change or a key member of staff is indisposed or leaves.

We hope that our Product Solutions Team specialising in interim management and consultancy will be able to help.

Interim Managers and Consultants are cost-effective, and becoming an increasingly popular resource option, as they can step into place at short notice and make an immediate impact on the business. They are fresh thinking and results orientated; working to quality, time and budgetary parameters that have been agreed at the outset. As many interim assignments arise unexpectedly, and the use of an interim may initially be seen as expensive, it has to be compared to the cost of doing nothing. We feel our Interims Managers and Consultants are worth their weight in ‘truffles’!

Blue Spark's Product Solutions Team consists of Innovations Managers, NPD & Technical Managers, Home Economists, Development Chefs and Food Photographers. They have worked within various manufacturing and retail environments as well as food media. We currently offer Interim and Consultative services in the following areas:

    • Growing businesses don’t always have the resource for a permanent product developer, home economist or development chef but understand how important product development and innovation is - we hope our Product Solutions Team can help.

They are very experienced at presenting products professionally and have a wealth of food knowledge that can be utilised.
