Link2 is an innovative online database designed to link Food Professionals with Manufacturers who have consultancy opportunities.
You are a professional technical expert who wants to work independently. Link2 helps you present your technical expertise to a wide range of manufacturers who seek external support.
Link2 presents your key skills and qualifications within a structured, searchable database to significantly improve your chances of finding project work that truly fits your experience and abilities.
Trusted Skills Database: A unique aspect of Link2 is that your qualifications are verified by FoodChain in advance, through the Government’s Initiative, the Green Card Scheme. This is a national project to verify skills, qualifications and achievements within the food & drink manufacturing sector. Verification through the Green Card Scheme means that manufacturers seeking consultants have access to a pre-qualified list of suitable consultants. This speeds the selection process and allows more precise identification of appropriate technical advisors. Clearly, food manufacturers will be more confident in selecting you if you are a Link2 professional.
Actively Marketing You: Link2 is an active marketing organisation that continually contacts manufacturers to stimulate their interest in the independent advisory sector. It gives you the advantages of being associated with FoodLink whilst remaining absolutely independent.
Professional Updates: Joining Link2 not only assists with your career development but more importantly it helps you to keep abreast of legal & technical developments by providing you with free access to FoodChain’s Information Service. This profiled service notifies you of key legal changes, consultations and implementation policy relating to Food Safety and Trading Standards.
