Henry Heath MBE

Henry Heath is retired from work and he is committed to serving St Chad’s church where he is now involved in organising the stewarding of the church during the summer months and playing an active part in the Stewardship Team. 

During his business life he was actively engaged in writing and published two major books on Flavour Technology and Chemistry and a third in collaboration with a professor from Minnesota University. In addition he was busily engaged in lecturing, running symposia and writing technical articles in all the major counties where the company had factories or sourced raw materials.  Inevitably, he was involved in the then new technical food associations and played a significant role as a Fellow in their foundation and growth.
