ALLINGHAM TRANSPORT
INDUSTRY
COMPLIANCE
Allingham Transport is proud to continue its commitment to high operational standards and professionalism that is reflected in our membership of various bodies and the accreditations we have obtained annually.
​
BRCGS
The British Retail Consortium (BRCGS) is a trade association for the UK food retail industry created in 1992. The BRCGS has published standards for best practices for the food and manufacturing industries- the ‘BRCGS Global Food Safety Standard’ and this naturally extends to the storage and transport of such goods. These standards are constantly evolving to protect the end-consumer – managing product safety, integrity, legality and quality, and the many operational controls required in the storage and transport of such goods. BRCGS AA Rated is the highest accreditation available – and Allingham Transport have held this since 2018.
​
