Success stories

Client: Established multi-international

Industry: Food manufacturing

Situation: The client was looking to make a strategic investment in the UK to create an additional manufacturing facility and hub for distribution into the rest of Europe. The client had well established production processes that were recognised as delivering compliant product in their native country of production, but wished to innovate in a new EU facility with the confidence that the investment would be compliant with European regulation.

Solution: The clients existing and proposed processes were reviewed. The findings of the review were presented as an expert report demonstrating how the current production was compliant; and how the proposed modifications would acheive compliance. The client was then supported in liaising with the UK Trading Standards authority, using the report as "due diligence" for their business to proactively gain the Authority's approval - which was duly obtained.

Result: The client was able to invest with confidence, using less plant, increasing productivity, and reducing capital and on-going operating cost. As a responsible food business operator the client was also pleased to be reducing energy needs, and contributing to sustainability and the environment.
