Guidance in meeting necessary Global Food Safety Standards with BRCGS accreditation
You cannot hope to be a supplier to a retailer, especially in the retail food sector, unless you have the required technical disciplines in place.
The processes involved in obtaining essential accreditation such as BRCGS can be constraining on a business and the first decision to be made is to ensure it is worthwhile. In the assessment will be the need to understand the size of the ‘business win’ and associated costs to land it.
ARE YOUR SYSTEMS FIT FOR PURPOSE?
There are, however, associated benefits in terms of controlling the use of materials, training of staff, and improved quality of finished products. If you are in any industry, why not aspire to be the best?
Above all, proper standards in food systems protects your customers and protects your company’s reputation in the marketplace.
Working with associated and trusted consultants Freshway Connect can help you through this challenging but very rewarding process. This can be done in a manner which does not interfere with the smooth running of your operation. The improvements can bring positive results throughout your business.
CASE STUDY
With the assistance of Freshway Connect Directors, the principles of BRCGS were embedded into the culture of a small Food-to-Go producer over a period of 14 months. BRCGS accreditation was then sought and the business was awarded Grade A Level status.
Two key customers were then developed over the next 16 months resulting in 98% growth in sales of £4.7m annually.
