Scotland Food & Drink quotes Smart: “I am delighted to be both back in Scotland and joining such an exciting company as Genius. With many of my family and friends struggling with the challenges that gluten can create, I have closely watched Genius on its amazing journey as a brand for many years helping hundreds of thousands of consumers. The entrepreneurial spirit and boldness to become the first quality Gluten Free product on the market was inspirational and I feel very privileged to take the brand, the company, and our great employees on the next stage of our journey”.
