FOOD packaging specialist Colpac has secured an AA+ BRCGS audit grade at its UK factory for the third-year running.
The company confirmed that it achieved the highest possible BRCGS grade and passed with no non-conformances.
The firm added that the auditor commented that the facility provides a strong demonstration of product safety and quality culture on its shop floor. He also praised the high levels of housekeeping, knowledge, and documentation supported by robust systems.
The team was commended for its commitment to continued unannounced audits, particularly given the recent release of the latest BRCGS global standard in 2025.
“This result is a direct reflection of the culture we have built and the care our people take in everything they do,” said Frances Dickman, head of compliance at Colpac. “Achieving an AA+ grade requires consistent attention to detail and a deep sense of ownership from each team member. Our commitment to doing things the right way, every day, is what makes outcomes like this possible.”
Colpac said BRCGS Global Standard Packaging Materials is recognised as a benchmark for quality, safety, and legality in food packaging manufacturing.
Gwenda Jarrett, non-food programme manager at BRCGS, added, “Congratulations to the team for securing an impressive AA+ grade for the third year in a row! Achieving the highest grade through an unannounced audit with no non-conformities is no small feat – your hard work and dedication truly shine.”
