22 December 2020 After many years in the NZ food industry as the top oils and fats specialist Laurence Eyres has decided to hang up his consulting hat and withdrawn from the FoodInc consultants group. But fear not, he will still be actively involved in the Oils & Fats area such as contributing to Food NZ with his regular bimonthly ‘hot news’ reports as well as more in depth articles, often in combination with other writers, analysing and challenging. He is also keeping active as chairman of the Oils & Fats branch of the NZIC, playing golf and contributing any way he can to his local community.
