Cat Pryke

Technical Director

With vast experience in health and safety, food hygiene, and allergen management, Cat brings a wealth of expertise to the team. Dedicated to working closely with clients, Cat ensures she fully understands client needs and always provides tailored, up-to-date advice.

Cat is proud to have been a Chartered Environmental Health Practitioner for over 23 years, and has operated at senior levels in both operational and enforcement roles. Cat values the collaborative and celebratory culture at Safer Food Scores, noting how the team consistently lives out the company’s values, working together to achieve shared successes. For Cat, being part of such a dynamic and supportive team is one of the highlights of her role.

Cat’s perspective on her work is clear and profound: “Without food, we cannot survive. That’s why issues affecting the food industry are so important.”

In her downtime, Cat enjoys cooking, travelling, and gardening. She has recently added a cut flower bed and a raised vegetable patch to her garden. Impressively, her knack for growing rhubarb has not gone unnoticed—so much so that a colleague has used the surplus to craft a batch of rhubarb gin! 

Fun Fact about Cat: Cat is a lifelong admirer of elephants, describing them as absolutely amazing creatures. She’s been fortunate enough to see them in the wild—a truly unforgettable experience.

Cat's Fun Fact about Food Contrary to popular belief, foodborne illness is rarely caused by the last thing you ate—a surprising insight that she loves to share!
