Our team at Bristol has received the highest BRC accreditation after their latest audit.

The audit, which was unannounced, gave the team the opportunity to achieve BRC grade AA+ - the plus reflecting the unexpected nature of the audit.

It reflects both the non-food contact and direct food contact operations at the site, the latter of which saw the Bristol team become the first Logson Group manufacturing site to offer this manufacturing facility when it was established around 18 months ago.

Andy Clarke, Managing Director, Boxes and Packaging (Bristol) commented; “This is a great achievement for our team and testament to their daily commitment to running our site with professionalism, attention to detail and care.

“To have increased our direct food contact from Grade A to Grade AA+ from our last audit is particularly pleasing.”

The Bristol team can support customers with their direct food contact packaging having implemented a strict set of rigorous systems at all production points across the factory. Adhering to all requirements outlined by BRC this has included enhanced PPE such as hair and beard nets, cleaning requirements before direct food contact products are run on each machine, specialised inks and glues, and specific testing procedures.

“Demand for our direct contact food packaging has already been high, and this enhanced certification will allow us to expand our customer base further. It reassures our customers that we are tried and tested producers of direct contact food packaging and offer this alongside our commercial corrugated packaging solutions.”

BRCGS is a globally recognised accreditation body that evaluates company practices and procedures to ensure they are operating at the required standards across all elements of the business including health and safety and legal requirements.

Customers also benefit from knowing that products are manufactured consistently to the highest standards of quality and safety. Furthermore, the team constantly strive to be the best in its field bringing confidence to the supply chain and beyond.

BRCGS certification is used in over 130 countries across the globe and sets the benchmark for good manufacturing processes.
