Isabel Hunt from London, UK, has spent a day learning from future engineering talent at the Mondelēz International’s Cadbury factory in Bournville as part of a prize she won from November’s Tomorrow’s Engineers Week.

Isabel worked with food engineer Debby Soetan to learn how food and engineering go hand in hand and to gain a more thorough understanding of the processes involved in making chocolate bars.

Prize winner, Isabel Hunt says, “I’ve had an amazing time at the Cadbury factory. Being able to come in and meet an inspiring female engineer has proved that I too can be a great engineer. I love chocolate and didn’t realise how many engineering processes are involved in creating the bars I see in the shops!”

Chief executive of EngineeringUK, Paul Jackson, supports the Tomorrow’s Engineers Week campaign. He says, “Attracting future engineering talent is vital to the UK economy and engineering offers a wide range of careers in exciting industries like music, sport, fashion and film special effects. It’s through seeing first hand how engineering touches everybody’s day-to-day lives that we’ll see out-dated perceptions about engineering careers change.”
