About Us

Suzanne, the founder of Nutrition Scotland, is a Registered Public Health Nutritionist.She holds an MSc (MedSci) in Human Nutrition with a specialisation in Public Health from the University of Glasgow. Additionally, she serves as a regional representative in Scotland for the Association for Nutrition.

Before pursuing her studies, Suzanne’s own experience with her children’s food sensitivities and allergies, coupled with a lack of accessible support, prompted her to conduct independent research. This led to the concept of offering an evidence-based and easily accessible nutritional service. She completed her Masters in Human Nutrition (MedSci) to ensure she could provide reliable services working from a strong science background which complemented existing statutory services.

After graduation, Suzanne gained valuable experience in nutrition research at the University of Glasgow and later worked in the third sector and NHS Health Improvement. This journey culminated in the establishment of Nutrition Scotland in 2018.

By 2019, the organisation was trading and Suzanne transitioned to focusing on it full-time. Her contributions were recognised when she was named Nutritionist of the Year by The Caroline Walker Trust in 2020 and received a commendation in the University of Glasgow World Changing Alumni Awards in 2021.

As CEO of Nutrition Scotland, Suzanne oversees all aspects of the business. Her involvement extends to programme design, delivery and evaluation. Suzanne’s enthusiasm is deeply rooted in her commitment to advancing a well-being economy, a value that significantly influences her approach to work.
