UK-based Lesters has been awarded BRCGS AA standard for the way it has implemented robust systems to ensure the safety, quality and legality of its products.
It’s the first time the Burntwood-based company has gone for the rating that covers everything from quality control and hygiene, to process management and traceability. Led by Business Support Manager Richard Shorthouse and Project Manager Cerianne Dixon, the process took just six months and is a significant rating for food and drink manufacturers who require this from their suppliers.
“The food and drink market is one of the UK’s most dynamic sectors, and we see huge potential for growth,” said Billy Hutchinson, Managing Director, Lesters. “Our goal is to be the go-to packaging partner for manufacturers supplying supermarkets, retail outlets and home consumers – delivering solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and compliance. The BRCGS standard is fundamental to us delivering the highest possible quality, which is essential when transporting food and drink products safely. To get an AA rating at our first attempt is unheard of and underlines the robust systems we already have in place when it comes to repeatable quality, safety and traceability.”
