“ We put a lot of effort into training and developing our staff ,” says Richardson , noting that there are many reciprocal benefits to this practice . “ We have quite a positive work environment — modern facilities with a lot of natural light , and flexibility in meeting peoples ’ needs . In return , people tend to go the extra mile . When there ’ s a sudden surge of business or an issue arises that needs to be addressed quickly , people are prepared to dig in and help .”
The road ahead “ Our task is to meet the needs of our client . That ’ s how everything is judged , and that ’ s what makes us a trusted partner , because that ’ s what we do for our clients ,” says Richardson .
DTS Food Laboratories has a rich history of service behind it , and Richardson sees positive things to come as the business continues to spread its wings to new sectors and new clientele . “ I think the future is exciting ,” he says . “ We will continue to add capability , and we look to extend the range of clients that we service and to expand geographically .”
As consumers increase their interest in their food , and transparency becomes ever more critical , there is plenty of testing and analysis left to do — and DTS is ready for the challenge .
