Testimonials

I relocated to join Nutricia's marketing team from Manchester in 2001 and I've no regrets - although I am no longer in marketing From a marketing perspective Nutricia has been great for my development as you are really at the heart of the organisation, having to work across all functions and get involved in the business decision making process. My previous marketing experience had been more consumer orientated so I was slightly concerned when joining. However, I soon learnt that Nutricia look at how you can use the skills you bring with you as well as developing others so I am definitely now a more all round marketeer. I moved out of marketing in 2008 into a new commercial function. In other companies marketeers can be pigeon holed so I'm not sure that I would have had this opportunity elsewhere. I can definitely say that Nutricia 'gets you' so everyone in the organisation is passionate about the business and really works to make it a success. Another year on and another complete change, I'm Regional Business Manager for the South West in a field based role, and I'm really enjoying getting closer to our customers.

Jude Livingston Regional Business Manager

I joined Nutricia in January 2000 having previously worked as a sales representative for a pharmaceutical company, as well as a nurse in the NHS. I joined Nutricia to take advantage of the personal development opportunities offered. Shortly after joining the company, the sales force was restructured and my role changed to Community Representative. About three years later I was offered the opportunity to take on a new role of Healthcare Development Executive, in which I was tasked with exploring new business opportunities at the PCT level. This gave me valuable experiences in working at a more strategic level with the NHS. Most recently, I have taken on a new role as Paediatric Representative with responsibilities to sell paediatric products in hospitals as well as in the community. My main customers are paediatric dietitians and paediatricians. Alongside my day job, I am a regional trainer working alongside my Regional Business Manager to develop the selling skills of my team. I am also an elected member of the Employee Consultative Forum which brings together employees and management to exchange views and work together to further improve our company. I thoroughly enjoy working for Nutricia as it has given me opportunities for both personal and professional development. Nutricia is a very people friendly company which ensures that employees are happy and included, through encouraging feedback via the ECF and at regular interface meetings. My time at Nutricia is the longest I have spent in any one company as when I need a new challenge, I am able to fulfil my needs here.

Surjit Lockley Paediatric Representative

I started work for Nutricia in 1998. From the first moment I walked through the door for an interview I was impressed. The building was in great condition with an open plan layout and the role was very appealing, but overall it was the people that impressed me the most. Everyone I came into contact with was very approachable and eager to help. A job offer was made and I commenced my new role. In house training with the team ensured I felt very secure in my new role. Nutricia supported me in the role and provided financial support for me to start studying CIMA in my own time. I’ve had various roles within Nutricia including Supply Chain, Customer Service and more recently the Operational Excellence function. My role of Project Executive included writing Standard Operating Procedures and dealing with project work, such as Automated Complaints / Compliments and Intelligent Scanning of Prescriptions. I am delighted to have been recently promoted to Quality Assurance Manager on a 6 month secondment. My progression at Nutricia has shown that as a company they are committed to giving employees the opportunities to the continual development of their careers. In summary, I am grateful to be working for a company that has given me such variety in my working life together with job satisfaction. I also really appreciate the facilities that are available to me; I regularly cycle to work and being able to use the showers and on site gym helps enforce the health through nutrition message that the company stands for. I am pleased to say the first impression I had of the people who work for the company is one that has been true to this very day.

Kevin Wheeler Quality Assurance Managerâ Medical

I joined Nutricia as a Product Manager in 2004 on a six month contract to cover maternity leave. Six years later, I’m still here! With a background in international marketing and medical devices, I was keen to work more closely with customers and understand the dynamics of the Irish healthcare industry. My experience with Nutricia was extremely positive from the outset. When an opportunity arose to join the team on a permanent basis, I jumped at the chance and have never looked back since. Following two promotions I am now a Marketing Manager, with strategic and tactical responsibilities which enable me to add real value to the business. I also work with a team of very passionate, dedicated marketing professionals who are fully committed to being the best at what they do! There are several things I enjoy about working at Nutricia; the variety of the role is incredible and no two days are ever the same. In marketing, you are really at the heart of the business, working across all functions and playing a central role in the business decision making process both locally and with international teams. The exceptional support from peers and management has enabled me to learn and develop my skills every step of the way. What I love most is that I’m working with people who really care about what they do, who are prepared to go the extra mile to find a solution to a healthcare professional’s problem or help a patient get the support they need. Joining the Nutricia team was one of the best decisions of my professional life and I look forward to being part of it for many years to come!
