Newbie - Greetings To All
Good Afternoon All,
Decided to sign up up to this site as I came across a plethora of useful topics of conversation while researching a topic of my own this morning!
My business - Bird Care, a division of the Westland Group that produces bird seed - wild bird, racing pigeon, and cage & aviary, also a limited number of other pet food products currently.
Also, we are BRC accredited, one of the only, if not the only BRC accredited bird food manufacturers around!
My experience - in food production, limited to 5 months in this current job (QA Supervisor) and 3 years at my previous (QC Technician - food flavourings). Prior to that, 17 years in Medical Products/Devices/Pharmaceuticals.
So, thats me in a nutshell and I am sure I will be offering advice of my own as well as looking for advice from you all.....
Cheers,
Paul.
Hi Paul,
:welcome:
Bird seed eh, that's a new one! haven't seen that on the forums before.

Well, there you go. I'm bringing something new to the table then....
Its a very interesting business, especially as we're BRC accredited yet strictly speaking not a food manufacturer....!
I'm looking forward to my first audit in October.
Well, there you go. I'm bringing something new to the table then....
Is that the bird table. :smile:
Seriously. What was the driving force to go for BRC...was it retailers or just a business choice?
Welcome to the forums.

Ha, bird table.... Nice... :roflmao:
To be honest, I don't know the answer to that. I imagine it was a business choice, the site was taken over 5 years ago and thats when the BRC decision was made. I would make the assumption that they thought they could corner the bird seed market with a BRC accreditation! Just my opinion.
Thanks for the welcome.
