Jim is back
Cyclops is delighted to welcome back Jim Small, the person who first developed our yoghurts way back in 1988. Today’s range of premium products all owe their origins to Jim’s invention of recipe and process.
When he started Cyclops Jim was charged with enthusiasm for making better yoghurt than what was available in New Zealand at the time. Coming from outside the dairy industry allowed him to innovate at an artisan level and effectively create the first premium yoghurt. Some of his early innovations were, thicker, Greek style yoghurt, fruit on top and transparent packaging. In the early 90’s Cyclops introduced the first genuine strained Greek yoghurt to the market.
Jim says the reason he is so happy to be back with Cyclops after a few years away is because of the new team that is in place. He says, “the food industry is about more than simply making the best quality product. It requires a lot of other skills and disciplines. The team in place now are highly skilled in what they do which allows me to concentrate on the product and the processes – as I have always loved to do. It’s my dream job!”
