Consultancy

Practical, partnership-led consultancy for food & environmental health

We work in partnership with our clients to achieve realistic outcomes specific to their environment and budget — identifying barriers early and minimising their impact.

How we work

Effective communication is at the heart of our success

We provide practical assessments of what's attainable within the available timescale and budget, and identify potential barriers to successful implementation — so we can eliminate them altogether, or at the very least, minimise their negative impact.

Meeting food audit standards

BRC, EFSIS and ISO: project management, audit preparation, gap analysis of current documentation, systems and procedures against published standards, implementation, staff training, evaluation and monitoring.

Supplier & retailer approval

Fulfilling retailer and supplier requirements to win product and supplier approval, covering auditing, specifications and complaints systems.

Product development & innovation
