The certification covers the company’s role as an agent and broker for the import and export of frozen and chilled foods to the UK foodservice sector, including the management of third-party storage, distribution, product testing and repacking.
“For our customers, technical assurance is not a ‘nice to have’ – it’s fundamental,” stated Managing Director Oli Sampson. “Retaining AA-grade BRCGS certification demonstrates that our systems, processes and people consistently operate at the highest level, giving wholesalers and foodservice operators complete confidence in how products are sourced, handled and managed throughout the supply chain.”
He added: “As supply chains become more complex and scrutiny continues to increase, this accreditation underlines our ongoing investment in governance, traceability and risk management – all designed to make life easier and safer for our customers.”
The BRCGS Agents & Brokers Standard is recognized globally as a benchmark for best practice in food safety, legality and quality. It provides independent assurance that certified businesses operate effective supplier approval, traceability and product integrity systems across their supply chains.
