The company views its key resources as: employees, raw materials, suppliers, manufacturing capabilities, sales & distribution, advertising & promotion, research & development, and regulatory expertise.
Students explored the sensory lab to learn more about consumer and sensory research - this is where flavours and development pf products takes place.
They were introduced to the concept of sustainability in packaging, and completed a practical task of creating packaging strong enough to protect an egg! The Limes College were successful with their creation, and no mess was created.
The students also had a chance to explore how Haleon uses AI for image development, alongside product development.
