Susan Pink and Eileen Musk have been presented with accreditation certificates from Oxford and Cambridge University under the Royal Society of Arts national school associate scheme.

The award was for work carried out by the two to support the company's children's project group which works with teachers to provide a food technology education pack for GCSE students.
