I started working for Rupert’s in 2023 after 20 years working in NPD and the Food Industry. I specialise in ingredients and flavors and enjoy creating new and tasty recipes with the NPD team.
Outside of work, I am a keen Road Cyclist and spend as much time as I can cycling around Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire at the weekends. I also love to spend time with my family and going to gigs with friends. Music- Indie, Alternative, Hip-Hop Sports- Cycling, Running Film- Interstellar

Technical Assistant
Harry
technical@rupertsingredients.com
I started working at Rupert’s in November 2022 as an assistant to the Technical and New Product Development managers. My role involves learning about the BRCGS standards, helping to make sure we adhere to them and working with the NPD manager to create samples, matches and salt testing. I use my previous experience and the sharp palate I gained as a line cook to help with the creation and identification of flavours.
Outside of work, cooking has always been a big part of my life, whether that’s following a new recipe, using a new ingredient I’ve never used before or making an old favourite. I feel working at Rupert’s is a great fit for me as it’s close to home, and it allows me to follow my passions when it comes to food.

Factory Manager
Gary
factory@rupertsingredients.com
I’ve been in the food industry now for over 16 years gaining skills and qualifications along the way, helping me progress in my career. I started out in the food industry as an operative moving up to factory manager.
From a young age, I’ve always had a love for cars and motorsports and completed a panel beating and paint spray qualification in college along with motorcycle mechanics, my career in this industry never really took off, and that’s when I started in the food industry. I like to spend my spare time outdoors with family and friends, mainly camping, walking, and visiting various motor events.
Coming from a Hungarian background, I’ve always had a taste for the cuisine and learning about their history, and I like to visit family there when possible.

Technical Manager
David
I started working with Rupert’s Ingredients at the end of 2021 after over ten years of working in catering and hospitality management, including event and wedding planning. Moving into food manufacturing was a change of direction for me, but one where I could utilise my existing skills and experience. As Technical Manager, my role is really varied and involves audits, compliance, training and much more.
I am a Fine Art graduate, and I enjoy visiting local, national, and international exhibitions. I am also a member of the Rotherham Society of Artists, where I continue to explore my own practice. I am a huge cinema and film fan, I enjoy reading, and I love live comedy, musicals, and the theatre.

Production Manager
Tom
I joined Rupert’s in 2015 as the Apprentice Business Administrator. At that time, we were still based out of our previous site, with only myself and Iftikhar and a handful of production operatives.
Over the next few years, I was able to carve out a niche within the business, moving towards Production. Fast forward to today, and I am now responsible for all Production and Operations at Rupert’s Ingredients.
Outside work, I enjoy socialising with friends and spending time with my family. A keen football fan, I follow my hometown team Barnsley FC wherever possible.

Managing Director
Iftikhar
iftikhar@rupertsingredients.com
Having worked in the food ingredients sector all of my working life, I created Ruperts back in 2009. The name comes from the nickname my friends use for me; they say I dress and behave like a Rupert'. By that, I think they mean prim and proper!
The business was set up to service the smaller, more bespoke, and niche end of the market, customers who the big boys weren't really interested in. It's been hard work, but with the help of many along the way, we've thrived and continued to grow. Fortunately, I have a good team around me, and we all pull in the same direction.
My role is to keep an eye on the strategic direction of the business, capitalise on opportunities, and steer away from any storms on the horizon. The business's day-to-day running is in my team's capable hands.
