Internal audits, gap analysis, documentation, and system support for ISO 9001, ISO 22000, ISO 45001, ISO 14001, and ISO 19011.
Documentation
Review of SOPs, policies, CCP procedures, allergen procedures, audits, and compliance documentation.
Trusted Sources & Framework
Food Standards Agency (food.gov.uk)
UK’s central authority for food safety, hygiene enforcement, and consumer protection across all food businesses. Their guidance, inspections, and regulatory standards form the foundation of the compliance work I deliver, ensuring clients meet legal requirements and maintain safe, well‑controlled operations.
Health & Safety Executive (hse.gov.uk)
UK’s national regulator for workplace health, safety, and welfare, responsible for setting standards, issuing guidance, and enforcing legal compliance across all industries. Their frameworks and inspection criteria underpin the safety‑focused auditing work I deliver, ensuring clients meet statutory duties and maintain well‑controlled, legally compliant operations.
BRCGS
Globally recognised set of certification standards used across food manufacturing, packaging, storage, distribution, and consumer products. I work directly with BRCGS requirements to help clients strengthen compliance, reduce non‑conformities, and maintain consistent audit‑ready performance.
ISO Standards (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 22000)
Provide internationally recognised frameworks for quality management, environmental responsibility, workplace safety, and food safety systems. I audit and support businesses against these ISO requirements to help them strengthen compliance, improve operational control, and maintain consistent certification‑ready performance.
UK Government – Food Hygiene Regulations
Legal requirements that all food businesses in England must follow, covering hygiene practices, structural standards, HACCP, allergens, and safe food handling. These regulations form the core of the compliance work I deliver, ensuring clients meet statutory obligations and maintain fully audit‑ready operations.
Local Authority Food Safety Guidance
Provides practical, enforceable standards used by Environmental Health Officers during inspections of food businesses. I align my auditing work with these local authority expectations to help clients meet hygiene requirements, correct non‑conformities, and stay fully prepared for regulatory visits.
The Kempton Standard
Kempton Standard is a Buckinghamshire‑based quality auditor providing practical, reliable compliance support for food businesses, manufacturers, warehouses and distribution sites. My audit programme offers flexible daily, weekly or monthly assessments, giving clients continuous oversight of compliance, risks and operational performance.
Unlike traditional auditors who only carry out annual certification checks, I provide ongoing audits across multiple compliance areas. Each audit is converted into trend graphs, percentage scoring and gap analysis, helping businesses track improvements and maintain strong, consistent standards.
I ensure alignment with UK food‑safety law, HACCP principles and due‑diligence requirements, while also benchmarking systems against ISO standards (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 22000) and BRCGS Issue 9 for food safety, packaging, storage and distribution. I also support retailer‑specific criteria used by major UK brands such as Tesco and KFC.
My audits strengthen core controls including traceability, documentation accuracy, allergen management, GMP, fire safety, health and safety, and Trading Standards compliance, ensuring businesses remain legally robust and fully prepared for EHO inspections and customer technical reviews.
Kempton Standard is committed to helping food operations stay compliant, confident and ready to succeed.
