Testamonials

“Riri’s expertise in regulatory compliance was invaluable when we needed to ensure our packaging met with TGO 92 guidelines. Her attention to detail during the artwork and review process saved us from costly revisions and delays. Riri worked closely with our team to ensure the therapeutic claims, dosage, and ingredients of our range were compliant, all while maintaining our brand integrity.  I would not hesitate to work with Riri again on future projects and NPD, on both sides of the Tasman!”

Lisa S, Senior Brand Manager

“Riri helped train my team, who were new to both NPD and product formulations. She immediately put them at ease with her approachable style and clear explanations, ensuring they grasped the essentials without feeling overwhelmed. Now, my team is confidently handling product development and managing GMP documentation. I’m heading into maternity leave feeling completely assured that everything is in good hands, thanks to Riri’s expert training and support.

Gwen L, NPD Manager

“I've been in the industry for many years, and TGA submissions can be quite complex. Working with Riri made the process more manageable. Her understanding of the technical and regulatory aspects helped simplify what can be a challenging task. She prepared GMP documentation thoroughly and coordinated with the suppliers effectively. Riri’s expertise streamlined the workload and provided reassurance that we were in the right direction.”
