The Manchester Rusk Company (MRC) has secured BRC/EFSIS. MRC plans to use its newly attained accreditation to spearhead a marketing campaign highlighting its diverse range of glazes, marinades, coatings, seasonings and sauces, some of which sell under the brand name ëflava-it'®.

MRC believes the award will help speed up the supply chain from initial enquiry to delivery of the product.

“A key part of the BRC/EFSIS audit was the need to demonstrate that we not only had working procedures in place but that the company was attaining them. This requires an on-going dedicated commitment by our employees,” said technical manager Andy Hornsby.

Operations manager Paul Hozack added: “We are anticipating a sales increase of seven per cent a year based on the experience of other companies. This is because customers demand the total product safety, quality and legality that the BRC/EFSIS provides. It also brings with it confidence that the company is following best practice ñ something we at MRC are very keen to provide.”
