John Bercow, Member of Parliament for Buckingham, visited McCormick in Haddenham on Friday 11 January where he presented an employee from his constituency with a certificate from the Institute of Export (IOE).

Marie Griffiths, International trade Compliance Specialist at McCormick – a global leader in flavour – was awarded the Institute’s Certificate in International Trade which focuses on key areas including international business, international trade management and transportation and documentation.

McCormick manufactures spices, herbs and flavourings and has its headquarters for Europe, Middle-East and Africa based in Haddenham.

Speaking after the event, John Bercow said: “Congratulations to Marie – it is uplifting to see companies such as McCormick investing in developing its employees and enhancing their skills in exporting and international trade. My constituency boasts a vibrant business community and it is extremely positive there is a concerted drive to embed international qualifications into businesses like McCormick which trades across the globe.”
