Client testimonials

Radbio Pty. Ltd. has been working closely with Hazel MacTavish-West on developing unique fruit products. In our case, Hazel collated and deciphered previous documented research completed by Radbio over several years. Hazel’s knowledge and network of associates in food product development enabled her to refine and develop a clear vision of the viability of Radbio’s products. By further developing Radbio’s core products, Hazel was able to help ascertain the end user uptake of these products. In turn this allowed Radbio to concentrate its current research and development program on the most unique attributes of its fruit products

Peter Radevski, Radevski Coolstores.

Hazel and Darren were given a brief to use Tasmanian flavours in our gins that set us apart from the main stream. We were very happy at the extensive input they gave, to bring us our award-winning gins

Susie Daly, Hellfire Bluff Distillery.

Hazel is a leading light in the food innovation industry. She’s a highly engaging, motivating and no-nonsense speaker, who inspires and educates producers and businesses how to create value-added offers through hands-on, result-focused workshops. She has the amazing ability to unlock the value of fresh produce, and translate that into desirable and valuable products, many of which sit on retail shelves across Australia and the UK today. You need to hold on tight as she propels businesses to new heights with the best and brightest approaches to product innovation

Susie White, Eat Drink Innovate.

Hazel has been working with our Company now for the past 5 years. In that time she has helped us get our potato salad onto the shelves of Woolworths supermarkets. This is a very hard thing to do with competition and food safety laws and shelf life. Hazel has extensive knowledge from all facets of the industry and has supported a mum and dad business make home style cooking into shelf stable products

Susie Daly, Daly Potato Co.

“I have worked with Dr Hazel MacTavish-West on a number of projects, from leading creative development of new juice products, to large audience presentation of branded foods to in-depth one-on-one food marketing consulting. In all cases I have found Hazel to be insightful, professional and a pleasure to work with. At the Mansfield workshop her insightfulness, intellect and humour had the audience learning, laughing and loving what Hazel had to say

Paul Kennedy, Carrick Consulting.

We worked with Hazel for over 3 years on new product development, analysis, branding and marketing. MacTavishWest offers a comprehensive one stop shop, with experience, expertise and networks resulting in outcomes that are both ‘top notch’ and cost effective

John Ranicar, Forager Foods.

“When I consider MacTavishWest I think two things professionalism and cutting-edge product development. I love the fact that MacTavishWest is consumer and market-centric, solution-driven and willing to listen to suggestions. Above all – MacTavishWest is responsive, fast and approachable enabling our business to shape and seize market opportunities”

Anne Bennett, Ashgrove Cheese.

Hazel joined the front-line team in sales and marketing at Houston’s Farm at a time when we really needed to change up and direct our new product development into new areas that met consumer’s needs and also the desires of our customers; bringing enthusiasm, energy and excitement to our range of bagged salads, salad kits and ready to eat salad bowls

Ray Butcher, Houston’s Farm.

Our farm is good at growing berries. But it wasn’t until we worked with MacTavishWest that we understood how good our fruit was. Hazel provided us with scientific analysis, NPD guidance and had great contacts in industry to assist us with the production and sale of our new high value fruit-based products. On top of this, I have never worked with such a responsive and attentive partner in business

Richard Clark, Westerway Raspberry Farm.
