EDITOR'S LETTER

Welcome Welcome to the August – September issue of out&about There are loads of interesting things for young people to do over the summer with courses in everything from bee-keeping at Hen Corner p 6 to gymnastics and simple electronics at Watermans in Brentford p 8 and wood-carving and printmaking at Gunnersbury Park p 14-15. Classes for adults too and conducted walks through Princess Amelia’s gardens and talks by the curator of the newly reopened Gunnersbury Museum, home to the Rothschild family, beautifully restored after a £26m refurbishment.

Jazz returns to George IV in September with the UK’s premier exponents of ‘gypsy jazz’ Trio Manouche p 22. Chiswick House Dog Show takes place on Sunday 23rd September, this year with a circus theme p 21. Emery Walker’s house in Hammersmith, reopened last year after renovation, is beginning to explore more fully its treasure trove of contents with a closer examination of the collection’s Islamic art and the influence it had on the English Arts & Crafts movement p 26.

September is festival time, with Fuller’s Open Day p 9, the Brentford community festival p 10 and Tidefest p 11, an opportunity to learn more about the river and try your hand at water sports. Chiswick Book Festival boasts the best line-up of authors ever I think, with Anthony Horowitz, Kate Mosse, Joanna Trollope, Max Hastings, Charles Spencer, Charles Cumming, Roger McGough and Julian Clary amongst others p 18. The Book Festival, now in its tenth year, has spawned a Cook Book Festival, taking place for the first time this year with a pretty impressive line-up of its own including Australian Masterchef presenter John Torrode and British food writer Ella Mills, (‘Deliciously Ella’) with opportunities not only to listen and take note, but also to taste p 19.

September it’s also back to business with two major reports due which will affect the quality of life in Chiswick and Brentford: the report on the Chiswick Curve Public Inquiry, the Planning Inspector’s recommendations based on a four week hearing p 24-25 and Transport for London’s report on changes to their proposals for Cycle Superhighway 9. In 2016, 18,477 cyclists were injured in reported road accidents in Britain, including 3,499 who were killed or seriously injured. The cycle lane is part of the Mayor’s attempt to make cycling in the capital safer, but the proposals put forward by TfL are controversial. While we await their revised plans, Hounslow Cycling Campaign have been busy organising refresher courses for nervous cyclists who would like to get back on their bikes p 16.

In a previous interview (with magazine Inner surrey) Beata said:

“There are as many curves and shapes on a horse as there are on a woman. It makes me look at the aspect of the horse from different angles. I am fascinated by bones, muscles, tendons and their mechanisms. To me, [horses] represent sacred spirit - spirit of the earth.”

Interview with James Brewer January 2018

The artist paints the femaie figure as part of the animal world - the horse’s world; by showing animal and human features, the subject of the horse is humanised. It’s a practice of experimentation and implementation. The world that lies behind those figures stems from inspiration drawn from our roots, our beginnings and the movement of visual arts.

HEN CORNER

YOU CAN NEVER TELL WITH

Bees..

Sara Ward is having a good summer with her bees at Hen Corner

Bees are part of our everyday language, which shows how through history what an important part they've played in our lives.

‘Busy as a bee’ or ‘a hive of activity’ refer to their diligent, conscientious work. Calling someone ‘Honey’ is term of endearment, due no doubt to its sweetness, and having a ‘bee in your bonnet’ expresses agitation. As someone who has experienced a bee within the veil of my bee suit, I can confirm that ‘agitation’ nowhere near describes the fear & panic that it caused!

Great West Rd swarm.

Thomas, my fellow bee-keeper, already had them cornered in a cardboard box

We’ve had honey bees here at Hen Corner since 2011.

Keeping bees is an ongoing learning experience as you are constantly trying to second guess nature - the whim of the weather and the preference of the pollinators.

As I write, we have four colonies (families) of bees here in the garden. Two have been building up slowly, are in good shape and have started making honey. The third has been without a queen bee for a couple of months and whilst they are working hard on the honey front, the workforce is starting to diminish as we wait for a new queen to start laying eggs to replenish it. The fourth and newest colony was recently re-homed from the A4 Great West Road.

I was at home on a sunny afternoon when I received a message about a swarm spotted by a dog walker, near the entrance to a local primary school, hanging from a low fence, so I donned my bee suit, packed up a spare hive and went to rescue them. My fellow bee-keeper Thomas had already coaxed them into a cardboard box. We collect swarms as a public service when they take up unwanted residence in chimney pots, garden sheds, empty lofts or water butts, but it also means more bees for us! They’re now destined for a primary school in North Kensington. But as Winnie The Pooh says: ‘You never can tell with bees…’

OPEN DAY

Come and meet the dray horses and sample the latest brew Once a year at the beginning of September Fuller’s Griffin Brewery holds an Open Day. With the brewery open for free tours, a range of beers to try, live music, activities for children, the brewery’s Shire horses to admire and plenty of street food, including a barbeque, there’s something for all ages.

This year the brewery is proud to show off its new ‘visitor experience’ aka shop.

Reminiscent of a theme park shop, it has everything you could possibly want that could conceivably be associated with Fuller’s – all the beers and ciders, but also wines exclusive to the Fuller’s shop, spirits and food from the Fuller’s kitchen, T shirts, hoodies, tote bags

L@outandabout_mag

and satchels, beer mats, bottle openers and key rings. What makes it a ‘visitor experience’ as opposed to just a shop is the Pilot Brewery at the back, where small batch beers will be brewed, trying out new recipes in collaboration with other brewers and the tasting bar where you can sample and buy. Once it starts production you will be able to buy your glass jug, a ‘growler’, fill it with the beer of your choice at the Growler Bar, take it home to drink it and bring it back for a refill, with either the latest Pilot brew or one of Fuller’s classic beers.

Fuller’s held its first Craft Beer Festival earlier in the summer; more than 40 of London’s finest breweries took part, showing the variety of the London brewing scene. They are hoping that

wwwfhwem.com/publishing

the Brewery will be a place not just where beer is made and huge lorries come and go distributing it to pubs, but where local people come and visit and try out different beers and given their feedback.

The Open Day is on Saturday 1st September from 11am to 4pm. If you’d like a free tour of the brewery (usual price £20) get there early. (Unless you are a member of The Chiswick Calendar Club Card scheme in which case you can have a free tour – see www.thechiswickcalendar.co.uk for details). All proceeds from the day will be going to Fuller’s new corporate charity - Special Olympics GB – offering year round sport for people with intellectual disabilities.

BRENTFORD FESTIVAL

Brentford FESTIVAL

Kick back and enjoy the last days of summer

The Brentford Family Festival is at Blondin Park on Sunday 2nd September from 12.00pm - 6.00pm. Now a tradition on the first Sunday in September, this popular event is free to enter and is a community engagement day for all the family. Enjoy some sun in the park on the last weekend before the school term begins.

The first Brentford Festival took place in 2005 and has grown into a major community event in West London with visitors growing from 3,000 to over 10,000. This year as in previous years there will be live music, a range of interesting street food, and attractions including classic vehicle displays, performers and local craft stalls.

Stalls include everything from Ealing’s Historical Association to the British Cactus Society, including Hounslow’s Toy Library for children with disabilities, Boston Manor Residents’ Association, Osterley Bookshop and many other community groups and local businesses. Crafts include cards, jewellery, local prints, glass ware, Celtic designs, hand blocked Indian prints, handmade gifts and scarves. It’s a chance for local organisations, charities and businesses to display their activities and their wares.

The organisers are Hen Corner’s Sara Ward, Friends of Boston Manor, Made In TW8, who run cookery classes for kids, ‘community champion’ Linda Massey and Red Routemaster, which operates nine buses around London, hiring them out for weddings, parties and corporate events. They are on the look-out for volunteers, who will be rewarded with free refreshments.

It’s a great opportunity to catch up with neighbours and friends who live locally and see what’s going on in the community before everyone is head down, focused on work and school again. brentfordfestival.org.uk

TIDEFEST Tenor Madness

Cory Band

TIDEFEST A celebration of the River Thames

Tidefest, the festival of the River Thames, takes place at Strand on the Green in Chiswick and in Brentford on Sunday 2nd September from 10.00am – 6.00pm.

Designed to encourage enjoyment of the river and the riverside, activities include children’s games, foreshore walks, an angling competition, boat trips, paddle-boarding, river-dipping and kayaking.

Visitors can also enjoy nature reserve visits, water games, stalls and displays, talks and film shows, live fish tanks and the work of local artists. Tidefest offers entertainment, food, music and generous discounts off admissions to the London Museum of Water and Steam and the Eel Pie Island museum on the day of the festival.

It is part of the month long Totally Thames Festival, a whole programme of events throughout the month of September all along the tidal Thames, including art, music and theatre, talks and exhibitions and is sponsored by Thames Water, Fuller’s Griffin Brewery and Tideway, the company delivering the new Thames Tideway Tunnel to clean up the river.

Last year 50 anglers took part in the Tidefest Angling Championship which saw some good weights of bream

L@outandabout_mag

taken from Strand on the Green with the winner Mike Smith landing over 28lbs from his peg beside Kew Railway bridge. A small barbel was landed at Chiswick and most competitors caught several eels; it’s considered a good sign to see them returning to the river. The seine netting produced a number of baby bass, which shows also what an important nursery area the Thames has become for this popular species.

The tidal Thames holds over 120 different species of fish and is home to a tremendous array of birds yet surprisingly few people are aware of just how much wildlife there is here in the heart of London.

Gordon Scorer, Chief Executive of London Wildlife Trust said: “Tidefest celebrates the recreational value and wonderful wildlife of the Thames, a river that keeps getting better, year after year. It’s a wonderful opportunity to discover the wildlife that lives in and close to the river, and to partake in exciting and inspiring events and activities.

We hope to see you there!”

COPING WITH A DRY SUMMER ‘Andy Eddy, Head Gardener at Osterley Park and House, tells us how to cope with a dry summer in your garden.

One of the main ways that we help our garden to survive at Osterley during a long, hot summer is by looking after the soil all through the year and this is something that is easy to replicate in even the smallest of gardens or allotments. The important thing to remember is organic matter – this can be anything that you would use to make compost i.e. vegetable peelings, mown grass, weeds (except horrible ones like bindweed!), autumn leaves etc. All of these when composted and used to dig into planting holes or spread on beds in the spring will all help to make for a lovely, crumbly soil structure and this will retain moisture for much longer than a dry, impoverished soil. We find that beds that are mulched on a regular basis will not need extra watering during the summer months and that all of the plants will grow more strongly and thrive. This cuts back on using water from the mains which can be expensive and also not good practice.

It is also very easy to install water butts under any downpipes to catch and store rainwater for using to water pots etc. We also use shredded bark which is a by-product from the tree work that we do in the winter; this is used to mulch all of our shrub borders where, as well as helping the soil to retain moisture, it also acts as a weed suppressant and thus a little time spent doing this task in the winter will save a lot of time the following year.

GUNNERSBURY MUSEUM

Gunnersbury MUSEUM

Gunnersbury Museum reopened to the public earlier in the summer after a £26m renovation.

The former home of the Rothschild family, the house has been refurbished beautifully and the museum celebrates not just the Rothschilds, though their presence is everywhere throughout the house, but the previous history of the site and the development of this part of west London as well.

The original Gunnersbury House was built by Sir John Maynard, a lawyer and politician during the time of Oliver Cromwell. In the 18th century Princess Amelia, daughter of George II, used it as her summer home. After her death the original house was pulled down and replaced by two mansions. Both were bought by the Rothschild family in the 19th century and purchased for the nation in 1926.

Home to the Rothschild family The museum is light and airy and easy to get around, with some rooms unfurnished, leaving it to your imagination what life would have been like at the big house, and others full of artefacts and photographs and an interactive video screening on the walls with actors playing the roles of the Rothschilds’ servants and family members.

During the 19th century, the Rothschild family possessed the largest private fortune in the world, built on generations of banking. They entertained the most influential aristocrats, politicians and businessmen of the time. Benjamin Disraeli, who went on to become prime minister, wrote that a Gunnersbury banquet was ‘not to be surpassed in splendour or recherché (the rare and exotic) even at Windsor or Buckingham Palace.’

You can see where Leonora Rothschild married her cousin Alphonse de Rothschild in 1857 in the presence of four rabbis, and where they held the wedding breakfast. An engraving in the Skylight gallery shows the wedding presents laid out for guests to view. There’s a photograph of the servants lined up posing in 1914 and early examples of autochrome photography taken by the family themselves.

CHISWICK FEATURE BOOK FESTIVAL

Anthony_Horowitz

CHISWICK BOOK

Festival Director Torin Douglas reflects on ten years of the Chiswick Book Festival

Kate Mosse

Joanna Trollope

The Chiswick Book Festival is celebrating its tenth year with a stellar line-up of authors: Anthony Horowitz, Kate Mosse, Joanna Trollope, Max Hastings, Charles Spencer, Charles Cumming, Roger McGough and Julian Clary amongst others.

Former BBC Media correspondent Torin Douglas is the festival director.

For several years, I had discussed launching a Book Festival with Father Kevin Morris, the vicar of St Michael & All Angels. It couldn’t be that hard, we thought!

The Bedford Park Festival – Chiswick’s biggest community event - provided a good model. We had the venues – the church and the parish halls. We knew how to find speakers and attract audiences and look after them, using volunteers from St Michael’s and elsewhere. We knew how to sell tickets, attract sponsors and use a Festival to raise money for good causes.

We’d built up a good relationship with Waterstone’s in Chiswick High Road and local publishers and publicists – notably Jacks Thomas (then managing director of Midas PR) and her husband Malcolm Edwards (then deputy chairman of Orion), who supplied lots of new books for fund-raising events.

In less than three months in the summer of 2009, we put together a programme that surprised us all. I had suggested starting small and gradually building the Festival up. Jacks’ and Malcolm’s idea of starting small was persuading Lady Antonia Fraser, Anthony Horowitz, Jacqueline Wilson, Lynn Barber, Michael Frayn and more than a dozen other leading authors to take part.

The attendances and feedback were terrific and the Festival was on its way. In truth, we had underestimated what it takes to put on a book festival, but with lots of volunteers and goodwill it grew from strength to strength.

Torin Douglas, Festival Director with Charles Spencer

For our 10th Festival, we’re delighted to be welcoming back Anthony Horowitz, to talk about his new James Bond book, along with other headliners from previous Festivals: novelist Kate Mosse, historians Max Hastings and Charles Spencer, spy writers Charles Cumming and Jane Thynne, globe-watcher Tim Marshall and Masterchef presenter John Torode, who heads the lineup at our new sister venture, the Cookbook Festival.

We also have well-known authors speaking here for the first time: novelist Joanna Trollope; poet Roger McGough; historian Kate Williams; economist and broadcaster Dharshini David; food writers ‘Deliciously Ella’ Mills and Jack Monroe; and children’s author Julian Clary.

DO JOIN US!

The 10th Chiswick Book Festival runs from 13th to 17th September at various venues.

most; Jo Pratt, TV cook and author of five books on food and cooking; Niki Segnit, whose first book, The Flavour Thesaurus, won the André Simon Award for best food book, the Guild of Food Writers Award for best first book, and been translated into thirteen languages; La Cucina Caldesi, the only Italian cookery school in central London; Silla Bjerrum, restaurateur and Chef best known for her expertise in sushi; and Malika Basu, who offers recipes for easy to make Indian food.

CHISWICK HOUSE DOG SHOW

Roll Up! Roll Over!

SAYS DOG SHOW CHAIR JAN PREECE

The 14th Annual Chiswick House Dog Show is on Sunday 23rd September this year. The Show is run by local volunteers for the enjoyment of the whole community and aims to raise money to maintain and improve Chiswick House Gardens. Entry is free. It’s a fun day out for all the family – you don’t have to own a dog to come along and enjoy it.

Classes range from Waggiest Tail to Prettiest Bitch, and from My Dog’s Got Talent to Next Top Model. Enter your pooch into one (or more) of the 18 classes: all dogs are welcome - big, small, pedigree, tea-pot, miniature, cross-breed, rescue, naughty – there’s a class for every dog.

The theme of this year’s show is ‘Circus250,’ commemorating 250 years since the first circus was held in London, by ex-army officer Philip Astley and his wife Patti, who established Astley’s Riding School on the South Bank, where they did tricks on horseback accompanied by music.

This should give those entering the Fancy Dress competition (for adults/ dogs/children) plenty of scope.

The usual raft of surprise celebrity judges will be present: last year’s included Mel Giedroyc, Wayne Sleep, Richard Lintern and David Caves (from Silent Witness) and Neil Dudgeon (from Midsummer Murders).

The Dogs Trust will hold a re-homing parade for potential dog-owners

looking for a new ‘best friend,’ as well as running the ever-popular “Doggy Dash” for all those trying to get the fastest time (and enter the Pawsecco Book of Records). The Womballs Flyball Club will be on hand throughout the day to entertain everyone with their exuberant and enthusiastic exercises.

There will be a wide variety of food stalls, as well as BBQ, beer and wine bars. This year the show has gone ‘international’ with a Swedish company selling ice-cream for dogs.

Another 40 or so stalls provide an eclectic range of dog related stuff - pet portraiture, charities, local artists, dog treats, and every form of dog accessory imaginable!

To find out more about the Dog Show, please visit the website at www.chiswickhousedogshow.org.uk If you would like to volunteer to help with the show please contact Caroline at volunteer@chiswickhousedogshow.org.uk Sunday 23rd September 2017, 11am to 4.30pm, Cricket Pitch (Staveley Road entrance), Chiswick House and Gardens.

CHISWICK CURVE ENQUIRY CGI created for developer Starbones

THE CHISWICK CURVE PUBLIC INQUIRY Should a 32 storey skyscraper be built at Chiswick roundabout?

This summer while others are on the beach or lazing beside a pool, Planning Inspector Paul Griffiths will be considering the evidence presented to him during a four week Public Inquiry during June and July on whether or not there should be a 32 storey skyscraper built at Chiswick roundabout. He has until early September to make his report, which will then go to the Secretary of State for a decision.

Gateway to the global capital Developer Starbones and architect Christophe Egret put forward their proposal for a building which would be five storeys of office space with 27 storeys of residential apartments above. The London Borough of Hounslow turned it down because it was too big. The developer appealed against LBH’s decision, which led to the Public Inquiry.

The developer maintains that the Golden Mile needs a statement building to mark the ‘gateway’ into

24

London, ‘the global capital’. Russell Harris QC on behalf of Starbones told the Inquiry that London needed a building of high quality design by a leading architect to impress people as they come in on the M4 from Heathrow. “The potential to mark that place, that moment, with a building of world class quality by one of Europe’s most lauded and talented of architects is one that the planning system should not let slip” he said.

Ranged against the developer were the Royal Botannic Gardens, Kew, English Heritage, the Kew Society, Strand on the Green residents’ association,

L@outandabout_mag

the West Chiswick and Gunnersbury Society and other local opponents.

Their main argument was that such a tall building, of such great bulk and mass would stand out on the skyline and do ‘substantial harm’ to the many listed buildings and conservation areas we have in this part of West London, not least to Kew Gardens, which is one of four World Heritage sites in London, where people go to find a “safe haven in this busy city”, said Counsel for the Royal Botannic Gardens James Maurici.

In the view of the developer, Christophe Egret’s design will be www.fhwem.com/publishing

CHISWICK CURVE ENQUIRY recognised as a “world class” building of “immense quality”… A building which represents the best of the new: “a symbol of a diverse, sensitive, postmodern culture that has something of its own to add to the centuries of history upon which it is overlaid”.

The architect described his vision of the future and explained that he had designed the building as part of a “new urban layer” which will be added to Chiswick and Brentford. ‘London’ he said, ‘is a growing city, and new designs need to be celebrated like new children in a family. The skyline will be altered, new vistas will arrive’.

‘Narcissistic bling’ Far from being a world class example of fine modern architecture, fellow architect Barbara Weiss, a founder of the ‘Skyline Campaign’ described the building’s design as ‘narcissistic bling’ and said it would be a contender for the Carbunkle Prize awarded by Building Design magazine each year for the ugliest building in the United Kingdom built that year, if it were built.

Other opponents described the impact on local infrastructure, pointing out that the roads around Chiswick roundabout are already in frequent gridlock without the addition of so

Describing the Chiswick skyline as he imagined it would look in a few years’ time, Christophe Egret said: “The landscape is being redrawn by a number of developments.” With reference to the housing already being built as part of the Brentford FC stadium complex and at Wheatstone House beside the petrol station at the roundabout, as well as several other proposed developments currently in various stages of the planning process in East Brentford, he explained that the view from the river would not be of one lone tower, but of a new layer of development. “You have to go a little bit taller to make sense of developments” he said, defending the tower’s height. many more people, both adding more cars and slowing down the flow of traffic as they crossed the road on foot at a very busy junction. Both Kew railway station and Gunnersbury tube station are overcrowded at rush hour times as it is.

Peter Eversden MBE, speaking on behalf of the London Forum which represents residents’ and community groups all over the capital, said: “This site is at a location of considerable noise, air pollution and dangerous access across main highways. It is not suitable for a building containing a large number of homes”.

ISLAMIC ART

Treasures EMERY WALKER’S

Lucinda MacPherson explains how Islamic art influenced the English Arts & Crafts movement

The collection on display at Emery Walker’s house in Hammersmith shows how much Islamic arts and crafts influenced the English Arts and Crafts movement.

The photographer and engraver Emery Walker (18511933) and his family went on holiday to Moorish Spain and Morocco and brought back with them a wonderful collection of rugs, silver jewellery, leather goods and ceramics.

by David Bryce, a Scotsman who specialised in miniature books, at the turn of the 20th century.

In this age of cheap travel many of us also have little treasures collected on our holidays, but the Walkers were definitely ahead of their time. Professor James Allan, Emeritus Professor of Eastern Art, St Cross College Oxford says the collection of Moroccan artefacts is of particular academic interest, as Moroccan material of that period was not common in the UK: “Morocco was in the Spanish or French sphere of influence, and hence not part of the British Empire: as a result perhaps Morocco was not widely visited

by British people.” Ceramics like these were first introduced to London society through the 1871 Annual International Exhibition held in South Kensington.

Their great friend the playwright Bernard Shaw was a little circumspect about the objects they picked up on their travels. "Walker has just paid 3 1/2 francs for a three-spouted brass thing supposed to be a lamp, but really a sort of candle-snuff incense burner which would stink him out of Hammersmith Terrace if he attempted to use it” he wrote.

Artist Sara Choudhrey, from Shepherd’s Bush, who specialises in Islamic art, has made a study of the Islamic artefacts among the collection at Emery Walker’s house and found out more about their history. Among her finds is a miniature Qur’an measuring just 2.5 cm in height, produced

26

The Walkers were great friends of the Arts and Crafts artist and designer William Morris (1834-96) and his family, who lived nearby. It seems Morris was inspired by the geometric, arabesque and calligraphic designs he saw.

The colourful collection (an almost identical collection to which is held by the Victoria & Albert Museum) can be seen at Emery Walker’s House, which is open on Thursdays and Saturdays for guided tours. You can read more about what Sara discovered about the Islamic collection on the website emerywalker.org.uk

UNIVERSITY OF WEST LONDON

FREE R&D SERVICE FOR LONDON FOOD AND DRINK BUSINESSES

Research and development is a vital part of the process of turning a bright idea into a fantastic product, but this important work can be a struggle for small and medium-sized food and drink businesses in London which don’t have a big-business budget to spend on perfecting the next big thing.

Research and development is a vital part of the process of turning a bright idea into a fantastic product, but this important work can be a struggle for small and medium-sized food and drink businesses in London which don’t have a big-business budget to spend on perfecting the next big thing.

Getting the recipe right is never more crucial than in the ultra-competitive food and drinks sector, where there is a heavy burden of necessary regulation to protect customers, who demand to know more about the production process behind the great taste.

But now small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in London have a helping hand, thanks to the University of West London (UWL) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The West London Food Innovation Laboratory (WLFIL) offers a way to do this vital research and development work. The best thing about it is that this service is completely free of charge for eligible London-based companies. The ERDF contributed £739,000 to the project and UWL has provided funding totalling £739,000.

L@outandabout_mag

WLFIL has already worked with many eligible start-ups and SMEs on projects ranging from vegetarian and vegan products to artisan bread, alternative protein products and healthier ‘street food’ desserts.

The process works like this: the expert WLFIL team develops a ‘protocept’ – an early prototype - of the new concept, or proposes alternative paths in the production process. They then experiment in WLFIL’s development kitchen, ensuring technical feasibility and regulatory compliance. The scientific team explores the texture, structure and nutrients of the product.

A range of tests reveal any changes which may affect its shelf-life at different stages of the production and storage process.

Professor Alexandros Paraskevas, the WLFIL Academic Lead said: ‘We are delighted to assist small food and drink entrepreneurs turn their dreams into reality. We also learn so much from their innovative entrepreneurial thinking which allows us to explore new areas and develop knowledge that we transfer in the classroom, making the whole project a solid win-win.’

To find out more, email foodinnovation@uwl.ac.uk or call 020 8231 2286

At the heart of this detailed consultation is the business client.

There are opportunities to evaluate the taste, smell, appearance and texture of alternative protocept in booths specifically designed and equipped for sensory evaluation. This process aids good decision-making on design, optimisation and quality assurance.

It all contributes to an outstanding final product. wwwfhwem.com/publishing
