Company: Cucina Sano
Age: 20
University: Sheffield Hallam

“I am currently on placement at Cucina Sano in Old Leake, Lincolnshire, as part of my university course where I study Public Health Nutrition at Sheffield Hallam University. I began my placement on 1st July and decided to undertake a placement to gain experience in the workplace and further my knowledge of the food industry. I was lucky enough to gain a placement at Cucina Sano which has enabled me to live at home which is only 10 minutes drive away from work and has cut my expenses considerably.

Cucina Sano is a relatively new food factory who produces products for Marks & Spencer, such as many of the salads and lasagnes. My role within the company is technical administrator which is an extremely varied position with every day being different. My main responsibilities are to issue the complaints to the QAs, produce the date coding sheets, update and maintain the QMS system, the KPI and the main computer system used throughout the factory called Marco. I also aid the QA manager in administrative work such as updating factory paperwork, storyboards and recipes. So far I feel I have learnt a lot about the workplace, however I still have a lot to learn. My job is also varied in the workload, some days I have very little to do and others I work late to get everything completed.”
