FOOD SAFETY IS VITAL
August 20, 2024

After three years of dedicated effort and unwavering commitment, our transhipment centre in Nelspruit has achieved a significant milestone: BRCG Storage and Distribution Food safety Accreditation with an impressive AA rating. This remarkable accomplishment marks a pivotal moment in the company’s journey to Food Safety, reflecting its relentless pursuit of excellence in quality and safety.

From the outset, our leadership recognized the importance of meeting the stringent standards set by BRCG. They embarked on a comprehensive transformation, implementing quality control measures, enhancing operational protocols, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Our Food Safety Team embraced the challenge with enthusiasm and determination.

The journey was not without its hurdles. There were long hours, unexpected setbacks, and moments of doubt. Yet, through teamwork and resilience, the Food Safety Team persevered. Their commitment was not only to meeting the standards but surpassing them, ensuring that their processes were of the highest calibre.

Receiving the AA rating was a testament to the company’s success in these endeavours. It validated the hard work and strategic decisions made over the past three years. For us, this achievement is more than a certification; it is a symbol of dedication to quality, a recognition of efforts, and a platform for future growth.

We celebrate this great achievement and are already setting the sights on new goals, inspired by the confidence this accreditation brings.
