What people say about us
I worked closely with consultants Brian Humphreys and Kim Liversedge of Food Safety Assist. Both clearly understood the value of having this safety accreditation to our business. This meant they guided my team on creating and implementing a safety system that was specific to Elddis while ensuring we were mentored effectively for the complex demands of the standard and the audit itself.
The team at Food Safety Assist really effectively guided us through the whole process of accreditation, culminating in achieving Grade A in our initial BRCGS Storage & Distribution food safety standard. A key successful business outcome of the whole process was the mentoring of our Hygiene Manager to take on the role of Quality Manager. This could not have possible without the expertise of Brian Humphreys and his team.
In order to secure contracts with two major retailers ( Marks & Spencer and Aldi), we needed to pass their own customer audits and also gain SALSA Food certification. Brian and his team, along with mentoring the management team, prepared and guided us to success on both business goals. Without this expert guidance in the timeframe required, we would not have seen the on-going business improvement that we have.
Thank you Brian Humphreys and Food Safety Assist for your support and guidance over the past 6 months, we couldn't have asked for better tutors to help us obtain the SALSA Food certification. So proud of the brilliant results we were able to achieve at The Fresh Pasta Company Ltd in such a short amount of time.
Our aim was to move from ISO 9000 standard to BRCGS. We supply many types of packaging to companies across food, medicine, electronics etc and our customers wanted us to be BRCGS accredited. Brian mentored myself through the whole process and I really appreciated his expert guidance on this complex standard. Our next audit is Autumn 2021 and BRCGS S & D is changing to version 4 and Brian is continuing to work with us to ensure all changes necessary are implemented.
We have been working with Brian and the team at Food Safety Assist for several years and on several projects. Their level of service, professionalism, industry knowledge and value for money is second to none. i couldn’t recommend them enough.
Food Safety Assist facilitated a new process (BRCGS Storage & Distribution Accreditation) and made it easy to understand and follow. This is excellent for our business plus all supporting documentation was very beneficial.
Food Safety Assist provided clear communication and structure, patience and understanding in helping us achieve BRCGS Storage & Distribution Certification. The Loom videos were very useful for clarification.
Dear Brian,
Thank you very much for your support, you've been an exceptional consultant to me. The success of BRC is due in large part to your valuable advice.
I’m very grateful.
Our compliance partnership process
An evaluation of current safety systems against relevant standard carried out by a Consultant on-site and/or virtually.
A project plan is developed from the Gap Analysis. Actions, resources and timescales are mapped out for successful compliance.
Safety system creation or improvement begins changing current system towards the requirements of a safety standard.
Every safety system is tailored by us in a way that works for each unique business while still following safety standard.
Detailed work is required here on paperwork, staff training, fabric of building etc. making audit pass of standard feasible.
Each annual audit will have learning points and actions no matter how good we all are!
A business can now prove to the marketplace they follow the highest safety standards because accreditation is realised.
Regular reviews of an accredited safety system is required by a standard. Independent internal audits are key to this.
Safety standards change and develop. Keeping your system up-to-date needs expert guidance on new requirements.
Demonstrating creation & implementation of a food safety culture is now a key part of passing safety standards. A safety culture is a continuous process.
Our flexible approach means it is possible to provide onsite or office-based support, assisting from the shop floor right through to the mentoring of directors. We offer a range of contracts depending on the needs and circumstances of each individual client; from pay-as-you-go to tailored project-based packages.
Depending on your geographic location, help with our consulting fees may be available. We can check your eligibility and get our personal Growth Manager from the Manufacturing Growth Programme to go through the funding process with you.
