Liz Murphy initially completed her Level 6 Certificate in Food Science and is now completing her Level 7 BSc in Process Technologies. She said: “Since starting the level 6 programme, I went from hospitality into the food production industry. I started as a temporary operator and was made permanent as a QC technician. I have just received my third promotion as a QC supervisor and that is down to the knowledge I have gained through doing the courses. It is the best decision I have ever made, and I will always be grateful to everyone at Innopharma.”
