I specialise in helping SME's, including caterers and the food industry ensure they have good management systems in place.  If you are a new business I want to ensure you get Safety RIGHT from the start and then beyond.  For example, growing businesses need to reassess their compliance with Health and Safety due to increasing employees or to meet the demands placed on them by contracts with the public sector or audits from private sectors buyers.  After many years as an enforcement officer for food hygiene and health and safety I understand what needs to be done to ensure legal compliance and satisfy the enforcing authorities without going over the top.

My experience includes:

• New Business advice
• Event caterer, hotel, restaurant, deli, retail, conference centre, vegetable pack house, meat cutting plant, festival, bakery, butcher, takeaway, caering college
• Funeral director, hospice, stone mason, warehousing and work with charities.

My remit includes: Compliance Audits / Site Inspection and hazard spotting.  Retained service (advice via email or phone) is perfect if you need reassurance, advice or someone to answer any questions you have.  I can act as your competent person (which every business must have) and provide advice and help with production of health and safety policies, risk assessments and safe methods of working.  I also carry out kitchen inspections and advise on food safety management systems including HACCP for food businesses.

Please call me to discuss any of the above.  I primarily work within Worcestershire and the surrounding counties: Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire.
