I am often asked the question “so what’s new in the next issue then?” Well now that our Ingredients distribution business Rigest is firmly housed into our Airedale Chemical Holdings Group I am delighted to confirm we have added even more interesting content about all things ingredients. Our new feature ‘Ingredients Insight’ focusses on one of our key product lines, Malic Acid, known as the ‘beverage partner’; ‘Bite Size’ is another new sub-feature that provides insightful snippets and trends from across the food and beverage industry emphasising that we are now well and truly immersed in the world of ingredients. A personal favourite of mine is our new (and to be regular) feature ‘Top down on retail’ which you will find in the Airedale Solutions feature ‘Solutions Segment’. An area I am personally very passionate about, this feature takes you on a voyage through retail, its performance and how shopper habits are changing in the current competitive era of grocery. We of course, as always, have plenty of engaging features around our chemical division Airedale Chemical including some truly exciting news straight from the top. I hope you enjoy this edition of Chemistry Connected; for any further information on our businesses please visit our websites listed on the back cover. Happy reading Daniel Marr Group Head of Marketing
