BRCGS Unannounced Audit Success

‘Brand Reputation through Compliance’

Client: Povey’s Oatcakes
Industry: Bakery

The team at Povey’s Oatcakes did not expect to have to prepare for an unannounced BRCGS Audit. Povey’s Oatcakes is run by Alex Povey and is based in Staffordshire. A major retailer demanded BRCGS Accreditation as an entry to business. Alex being an entrepreneur, took this as an opportunity to expand his business.

Unannounced Audit

Alex really embraced a food safety culture which enabled them to pass the audit so quickly.

However, planning for their next audit became more of a challenge. BRCGS decided to carry out an unannounced audit for their second annual audit.

Brian Humphreys, our Head Consultant, then went on to mentor the full team for this challenge, resulting in a pass in their 2nd but unannounced audit 10 months later.

After continued support and guidance Povey’s Oatcakes achieved their 3rd AA rating in an unannounced BRCGS Food version 8 audit.

Our work continues

Alex and his team use our support and guidance for regular food system reviews, mentoring of any BRCGS standard updates and internal audits.

Developing and implementing a strong food safety culture is the aim of this business ensuring continuous audit success.
