Home From Home Care employed Food Quality Consulting Limited to carry out food hygiene inspection audits to ensure that all requirements were being met. We received fast and efficient service, followed by a comprehensive report on each site, along with recommendations. We received a very professional service along with competitive rates. We would recommend this company to other businesses.
I found this course the ideal way to give me a full understanding of the BRC V6 Standard plus, by achieving a high enough grade, qualifying me to undertake audits of it. The combination of excellent notes, frequent exercises and case studies and pace of delivery made the course extremely enjoyable and gave me the desired result from the examination.
I would be happy to recommend the HACCP training from Food Quality Consulting - staff from our company have attended both level 3 and level 4 HACCP training courses successfully. The challenging material on the level 4 course was translated into easy to understand information, with emphasis on practical exercises invaluable for the exam. Both attendees passed, one with a merit and the other with a distinction. We will certainly be using FQC again in the future.
Karen Czarnota has supported us at Omega Ingredients Ltd over the last 5 years with the growth of our BRC and ISO 9001 systems. I can highly recommend her work, she is very thorough and knowledgeable in her subject, and has helped steer us through upgrades to BRC version 6, then 7 and the Traded Items module. We have used her internal audits to complete a gap analysis, helping us develop a focused to-do list and ensure continuous improvement year on year. Karen has also delivered in-house HACCP Level 3 training, described by our team as informative, relaxed, enjoyable, interactive, personalised and business specific, which sums up the benefits achieved with her help.
Karen Czarnota worked for me at Virani Food Products Ltd as Interim Head of Technical, managing the department day to day, dealing with customers and suppliers and preparing the site for customer and retail audits. Karen assisted in recruiting technologists and a Technical Manager, and trained staff in HACCP and BRC internal auditing, developing the operational and technical teams. As a member of the senior team she contributed to immediate and longer term business requirements and supported the technical team through a period of change. I would be happy to recommend Karen for similar roles.
Karen Czarnota worked for me at Pork Farm Spalding Bakery as interim Technical Manager. Karen's breadth of experience enabled her to guide and support the technical team on-site while allowing them to develop in their own roles. She made a valuable contribution to the running of the wider business as a member of the senior management team, with a calm and pragmatic approach to resolving issues and encouraging the team to take ownership. I have no hesitation in unreservedly recommending Karen - she has always acted with complete integrity and professionalism, a solid and reliable member of the team.
