Graeme Milne

I was employed by Bay Milk Products from 1987 until 1997 in various management roles including as CEO from 1992 until 1997.
During this time I knew Carol Cullen as a very valuable employee. Carol led the development of much of our quality assurance programmes under the ISO9000 system and was a trained and proficient auditor under that system.
I am very willing to vouch for Carol's auditing skills in general manufacturing and food safety critical environments and happy to be contacted directly by any company considering contracting Carol's capabilities.      Regards, Graeme Milne.
