to develop policy positions which are presented to government authorities in the UK and Brussels.

Policy Manager, and Office Administrator supported by the Chairman and the Board. IMTA works
closely with the European meat association UECBV and maintains regular direct contact with the

dynamic sector of the food industry. Working in a small team you will have the opportunity to
propose ideas and projects and see them through to fruition making it a very rewarding role.
