Governance & Compliance
Safe, Legal, Quality
It’s more important than ever to demonstrate clear governance and compliance to Customers, Regulators and Consumers alike. With over a decade in senior Governance and Compliance roles, we can help support your business from SLT coaching to hands on work in the factory.
Ukwazi can help you prepare for your first audit, SALSA, BRCGS, or similar GFSI benchmarked standard, Red Tractor, MSC/ASS, RSPO, RSPCA and retail audits like Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsburys and M&S.
Ukwazi’s approach is to support the development of the paperwork systems required for audits but also how this impacts existing processes. Audits are cross-functional and in a small business one person can wear many hats but in a bigger business responsibilities need to be delegated to the right teams. Ukwazi can help you develop the food safety culture in your business, not by being a crutch, but by enabling your teams to positively own food safety.

We can help you with your compliance systems. From a HACCP rewrite to delivering internal audits from an audit perspective. And then embedding practices across the SLT to factory operatives through hands on engagement, and where required, targeted classroom training.
