Do you want beautiful skin?  Be sure to eat your carrots...

The problem: Freshgro, the UK’s largest produce of Chantenay carrots needed help delivering more technical nutritional, flavour and health stories for their PR campaign, via Pam Lloyd PR.

"Tasty Feedback"

MacTavish:West has a respected track record within the fresh produce industry, qualified and experienced in nutritional science with respect to fresh produce. We were impressed with the quality of scientific input and their ability to respond to deadlines. A recent proposal they put forward showed the best scientific approach to our call and Dr Hazel MacTavish-West's skill set was perfect. The proposal was successfully funded.
