About David Worthington
Want to win UK retailer private label contracts but aren't sure how to get your factory 🏭 or supply chain approved by the client?Maybe you're having technical problems with an existing client and need help with rebuilding their trust? ✅Or you're an agent or broker who needs their supplier auditing 📋 to verify that they'll meet a prospective customer's technical standards??Each UK retailer has its own bespoke set of technical standards. It can be really hard to keep on top of all of them 😵💫, especially if you're a global distributor and are exporting to multiple countries 🤯. It's no surprise that many aspirant private label suppliers go into certification or approval audits confused or under-prepared. But this needn't be you! 🌈Over the last 16 years I've witnessed clients around the globe 🌍 : 🚩 Attain BRC Global Food Safety certification but then struggle with the adoption and integration of retailer technical standards and with passing retailer approval audits🚩 Gain approval to supply retail customers but then become complacent, experience poor maintenance audits and lose the confidence of their customers 🚩 Assume that because the factory they (the agent or broker) propose to supply from is already approved by a UK retailer, it will necessarily be approved by the customer they wish to supply To help clients with these problems I adopt a simple, 3-step process: 1. conduct a gap analysis, 2. develop solutions to plug gaps, 3. re-audit to verify compliance. This ensures:🤝 You can be confident your factory or your supplier's factory is audit-ready and will pass its approval audit🤝 A right-first-time approach to factory approvals and winning private label business. This will save you time and money and reduce associated stress! 🤝 No loss of face or erosion of client's trust due to failing factory audits! But, as the saying goes, words are wind! What results have I actually achieved?🏅 After nearly 18 months supporting them through a comprehensive rewrite of their quality management system a Singapore-based food exporter achieved AA grade at their first BRC Agents & Brokers certification audit, a badge they now proudly display!🏅 Worked closely with a Vietnamese prawn processor, assessing their facilities and systems against Waitrose' technical standards and getting them audit-ready. As a result, they passed their technical approval audit and secured the ability to supply Waitrose with raw and cooked peeled prawns.If you'd like similar results, please direct message me to arrange a consultation call.
