"Innovation
and sustainable use of resources are critical competences for
food businesses seeking greater competitiveness in the current
climate. Ozo is proving that hygiene is a valuable source of
competitive advantage and can release additional process capacity
in the food industry. I am very excited to be joining Ozo at
this stage of its development and look forward to working with
the board as Ozo grows and matures," said Tania Howarth.
"I
am looking forward to working with Tania in her new role as
Chairman. The food industry is facing new challenges and hygiene
has not been recognised as providing an opportunity for significant
resource efficiency and margin win. Tania's industry insight
will be valuable to focusing our strategy to help the business
succeed and our customers to win," said Rowan Gardner,
CEO of Ozo Innovations.
