Here at LittlePod, we’re delighted to have made an addition to our team, with Melissa Irace having joined us as our first-ever Sustainable Development Manager.

Having established and run the brilliant Made in Devon scheme, to which we’re so proud to belong, Melissa brings three decades of invaluable experience to our Campaign for Real Vanilla. We’re excited to be able to put her skills, knowledge and expertise to good use here!

Melissa joined our celebrations last June when we received the King’s Award for Enterprise (Sustainable Development) from David Fursdon, the Lord Lieutenant of Devon. Twelve months on, it has been a pleasure to welcome her back to Farringdon as a proper LittlePodder this week.

“My work has always been focused on organisations that make a difference to communities, the environment and wellbeing,” explains Melissa. “It was during my Made in Devon days that I fell in love with LittlePod’s products and all that the company stands for. I consider LittlePod to be an exemplar sustainable SME. I’m excited to be part of a truly values-based business that is really making a difference.”
