What has been your proudest accomplishment?
Most recently, Kervan Gida UKs partnership and collaboration with Asda. From March 2022, we now supply x15 private label skus and x14 Bebeto brand confectionery skus. Not only has this been a game changer from a sales perspective, our joined-up approach has really put Kervan on the map market wide.
What’s your favourite kind of sweet?
You cannot beat a strawberry or a rainbow lace, the true classics.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
To be genuine and humble. Treat others the way you want to be treated yourself.

My golf clubs, phone, and a Swiss army knife
