What are people saying about us

Obtaining Grade AA in BRCGS Storage & Distribution Standard

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.

BRCGS Agents and Brokers standard

I first got to know the work of Food Safety Assist and Brian from previous employer. Now as a Director at The Bag Broker, I understood the value of having a food safety accreditation, therefore, I asked Brian to guide and support us through the BRCGS Agents and Brokers standard. Brian held our hands throughout and, with his amazing mentoring and support, we’re very pleased to say that we have passed with a grade of AA which is a magnificent effort on a first try at gaining BRC accreditation.

Staff Mentoring & BRCGS Preparation

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.

Contracts secured through food safty compliance

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.

Fresh Pasta & SALSA mentoring

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.

BRCGS Storage & Distribution Grade A for Packaging Contractor

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 passed SALSA again

This is the now the second SALSA Food audit we have passed with the support and guidance of Amanda and Brian at Food Safety Assist. The initial mentoring from both was a combination of remote support and actual site visits. It is always a great balance of information provided, tailored to my individual needs, and working with them through challenges of Covid and beyond we have passed SALSA again.

AA grade for the second year running

It has taken me a lot of work over the last 2 years to get the BRC accreditation for our UK, EU and Taiwan offices so I’m very proud to have achieved a AA grade for the second year running. Thanks to Brian Humphreys of Food Safety Assist for his invaluable work and assistance every step of the way.
