He has wide experience of microencapsulation technologies working with a global network of developers and suppliers. With Cara Technology Ltd, he led the team that developed a new range of sensory flavour standards for use in the food and beverage sectors. As a Director of the main operating subsidiaries of Micap plc, he worked with a range of industrial partners developing microencapsulated products for cross sector applications and built up a large business network with links to major international companies, research institutes and academia, particularly in the beverage and food sectors. Business development, staff management and expansion/withdrawal planning have all fallen within his remit. Prior to this, Craig was a Principal Development Scientist at Thames Water’s Water Quality Centre; he was responsible for the development of a large range of analyses, including pesticides and endocrine disruptors by GC-MS or LC-MS/MS, and the specification and purchasing of instrumentation.

He has strong academic links and has led PhD studies, commissioned research and been responsible for the management of patent applications. As lead manager on many projects, he has used his knowledge, relationships and experience to co-ordinate multidisciplinary teams. He is a lateral thinker who can come up with creative solutions to challenging problems.
