I feel I have settled into work much more recently, I’m now getting into more of a routine and feel I know more about the business. Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been preparing for the launches of the about 18 of the new Deli Bar products, so ensuring everything is correct on the computer systems and getting all of the storyboards and product info sheets in place.

This has been a hectic time, although I have enjoyed this. I have now taken on the role of setting out the taste panel both in the morning and the afternoon as the factory is getting busier due to the Christmas period approaching. This has taken up a lot of my time as all of the paperwork and preparation takes around 2 hours per panel. I am trying to manage this with the other work which I have to do, which is also increasing. I am also continuing with the KPI work and Bakkavor report which I am understanding more of now. We recently had a visit from M&S who have now approved the format of the report, making writing it much easier. Everyone is getting more stressed now that Christmas is approaching, which is making the atmosphere a little tense, although I am trying not to get involved!
