How we can help your business
Our approach to BRCGS Consultancy is to work closely with our clients to develop practical, tailored routes to compliance. We work hard to create optimised solutions that guide clients to certification without excessive costs.
The route to the globally recognised packaging certification usually begins with a gap analysis and report of existing systems and issues, which will assess the current level of compliance. The gap analysis is comprehensive and detailed, covering paperwork systems, personnel requirements, the fabrication process, and more.
We can help you throughout the whole process with a range of services such as on-site audits, system implementation, training, and development of effective safety management systems. Whatever stage of the certification process you’re at, we can provide specialist support and advice.
Our Process
Tailored BRCGS services, no full-package commitment.
1. Gap analysis
A consultant will assess how close your current operations are to meeting BRCGS packaging standards. With a report outlining what needs to be improved or introduced.
2. Implementation
Your dedicated consultant will support you in putting corrective actions into place based on the gap analysis, including build or revise food safety management systems, train staff, and update documentation.
3. Onsite audits
A trial audit to catch any non- conformities that may affect your final grade.
4. Ongoing support
If needed, your consultant can represent you during the audit to help you achieve the best possible outcome. We also offer periodic audits to support ongoing compliance and continuous improvement.
