As of Jan 14, from £125 -> £150 per annum, but way above any wage or price inflation.

 

£25 x 10,000 = £250,000

 

Kerching!

Tell you what, I had an email today offering a "Preparation for your BRC Unannounced Audit!"

Only £1200 (+VAT)

Now times that by 10,000!!

Was the email from BRC Caz?

 

You're right Charles GFSI will be taking a cut, I'm sure GFSI approval doesn't come cheap.

Ultimately it's the lower masses that always pay, just like life and taxes really.

It's just good marketing Caz.

 

They know a crisis or problem generates worry and fear thus creating a need for a solution.

 

They watch for the next one and quickly and cleverly put something together and bang.  There will always be some crisis or new pressure in the world of food safety.
