NZ Herald ( 23/11/2022) featured an article on Sharmaine Allison, who reckons she’s got the best job.
Sure, she had to study at university, and her official title is “Senior Product Development Technologist”, at heart she’s a baker who works with a team to come up with new varieties of Ploughmans breads.
That involves a lot of taste-testing– and, as Sharmaine told media personality Hayley Sproull when she visited the Ploughmans bakery in Christchurch, “any job where eating food is part of the role description is always a winner.”
