      Honestly, my first job after uni was making packaging for things like chocolate bars, crisps and biscuits. They make that the same way they used to print newspapers then supply it in a reel! I really loved walking through the shop knowing I helped make something that people had in their cupboards.

      When the opportunity came along, I couldn’t resist applying! When I had a dig down into chocolate making processes, I was amazed at how much effort and technical knowledge went into such a small thing. I still am!

      Also, who doesn’t want to be Willy Wonka??!! The original one. Not the Johnny Depp one. He was too weird…
