  • The Loughry Food Alumni is growing! Let’s celebrate together!

    Date published: 31 January 2024

    The College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE) invites past and current Loughry food students and staff to an Alumni event on Monday 5 February at 6.30pm.

    Left to right: Lesa Steel, Food Technician; Zita McNaugher, Food Technologist; Fintan McCann, Head of Food Education; Judith Gourley, Food Technology Centre Manager and Victoria Shiels, Food Technologist.

    Our on-campus events to date have been a huge success. We look forward to welcoming all our Alumni back again for an innovation themed evening with technical updates from fellow Alumni.

    Whether you are interested in reminiscing past adventures, catching up with friends and lectures, or delving into the world of innovation, the CAFRE Food Alumni will have something to offer you.

    The February event will feature:

    • Alison (Class of 1994) & Malcolm (Class of 1993) Seaney, Big Pot Co.
      The Big Pot Idea
    • Chris Forsythe (Class of 2005), Holland & Barrett
      Linking Loughry Alumni through Innovation and Health
    • Peter Simpson, Food Technology Branch, Loughry
      Innovation continues at Loughry

    Attendees will also have the chance to view Loughry’s food facilities, including a nostalgic tour of Shannon Hall!

    As we are kick starting the event with a social buffet, pre-booking is essential through the events section of the CAFRE website.
