We know that having the right knowledge, skills, and insights is crucial to advancing your career. That’s why we’re launching Inside Track, an new masterclass series designed to give you an in-depth look at the key skills needed to progress in different functions across the meat and food industry.

This is your opportunity to gleam insights, knowledge and wisdom from Chantelle, the youngest person to ever run a site at Sofina. We'll be discussing her career journey, but also coering the key skills and knowledge that you need in order to lead a team and a site successfully.
