A new suite of specialist food safety services - including a three tiered food accreditation audit scheme, food safety consultancy and training courses has been launched by one of the UK’s leading risk management consultancies.
Santia, which specialises in accreditation, consulting, training and auditing across a range of key industry sectors, has restructured the food safety arm of its business to launch Santia Food Safety Services, a new range of services to help remove the burden of food safety management for its clients.
Recognising that its customers all have different food safety management needs, Santia’s new food accreditation service will be available in three levels ranging from the Foundation Service, a basic core module which will ensure customers meet the local regulatory standards and provide a basic due diligence defence, through to the Advanced Service, which will allow customers to build their own compliance scheme using Santia’s enhanced erisk Management system and consultancy expertise.
This new range of services will allow the company to centralise its extensive food safety expertise into one single team. Boasting a combined knowledge and experience of over 500 years, Santia will work across all key areas of the food supply chain – raw materials; production; packaging; storage and distribution; sales and consumption and disposal.
As part of the new suite of food safety services, Santia has launched a new set of RSPH Accredited Food Safety Training Courses. Already the leading provider of NEBOSH and specialist health and safety training in the UK both direct and online, this move will see Santia extend its training capability into retail and catering for the first time and deliver a wide range of quality courses through its expert food safety trainers.
Commenting on the launch of Santia Food Safety Services, Jane Hext, Chief Executive Officer of Santia Consulting Ltd, said:
“We are delighted to announce the launch of this new suite of services and are confident that they will offer a range of benefits to both suppliers and consumers.
“Food safety management is an important element of our consultancy offering here at Santia and since the new management team took over the business earlier this year, we have been carrying out a thorough review of the food safety market to ensure the services we were offering matched our customers’ needs. It is clear that the market has changed considerably in recent years and that a change of direction is needed. Many retailers have moved away from the industry standard accreditation services and have developed their own more arduous and relevant schemes that provide a real safety guarantee for their products.
“The new products will allow us to combine our vast experience, not only in food accreditation but also in training and risk management, to provide a suite of specialist services designed very much with the customer in mind. The three tier approach to the Santia Food Safety Services will provide the necessary flexibility for our customers to match our services to their individual needs.
“We feel certain that these new services will help the entire supply chain to increase sales, build consumer confidence and deliver brand protection to the food industry.”
Don Meredith, Technical Director for Santia Food Safety Services, also commented:
Santia Food Safety Services has the ability to apply its business expertise across a wide range of market sectors and can provide bespoke solutions to individual customer issues. Santia don’t just provide “off the shelf” courses, but are specialists in troubleshooting and bespoke solution providers, thus adding real value for our clients.
