Towers Thompson has achieved BRC Global Standard for Agents and Brokers, and the company states this will prove to be an important landmark in the company’s development.
The BRC Global Standard for Agents and Brokers provides a framework for managing product safety, quality and legality. It can be achieved by non-manufacturing businesses in the food and packaging industries.
Managing director of Towers Thompson, Terry Goddard, commented on the achievement: “Towers Thompson’s directors recognise the importance of formalising the high standards of its food safety policies and procedures, which the company has always maintained, into a globally recognised standard.
“The comprehensive BRC audit evaluated the critically important processes that we undertake to ensure the safety of all our food products.”
The BRC Global Standard for Agents and Brokers is broken into five sections: Senior Management Commitment and Continual Improvement, Hazard and Risk Assessment, Product Safety and Quality Management Systems, Supplier and Subcontracted Service Management, and Personnel.
The standard allows customers and businesses to recognise a company, such as Towers Thompson, for putting quality and care into products, as well as giving customers confidence in what they are buying.
Towers Thompson was first established in 1898 and is recognised as one of the oldest meat and poultry companies that both sources and supplies.
