Following a recent unannounced audit, JS Davidson has this year been awarded with a AA+ grade for Storage and Distribution from BRCGS.
The temperature-controlled solutions specialist, which has invested heavily into its operations in the past couple of years, has achieved an AA+ BRCGS rating until February 2025, with its AA+ accreditation acting as its crowning grade to date.
JS Davidson, which was formerly named Chiltern Cold Storage Group prior to its rebrand in November 2022, was one of the first temperature controlled logistics companies to be awarded BRC global standard for storage & distribution in the UK.
Designed for logistics operators dealing with food, packaging and consumer products, BRCGS’ Storage and Distribution Standard aims to reflect best practice as well as facilitate a process of well-designed risk-based product safety management systems. It also ensures that the quality and safety of food products remains optimal during both storage and distribution process.
While AA is the highest grade to be achieved from a BRCGS audit, companies that participate in an unannounced visit will receive a + after their grade as they are electing to be challenged at a higher level – ultimately showcasing true confidence in the quality of their day-to-day operation and food safety procedures.
The BRCGS, which was rebranded from the British Retail Consortium in 2019, sets international standards for food safety and serves as evidence that organisations can adhere to regulatory mandates for the safe storage and distribution of food products. They prevent cross-contamination between food items and ensure the protection of the end consumer.
