Hello

I am a Quality Auditor and Compliance Specialist with over eight years of hands‑on experience across high‑volume food manufacturing, warehouse operations, and retail food environments. I help food businesses of all sizes strengthen their systems, improve operational standards, and achieve full audit readiness — from restaurants and small food operators to large‑scale production and distribution sites.

​

I currently support the Quality and Technical department within the second‑largest bakery in Europe, a fast‑paced environment that requires deep operational knowledge and the ability to keep complex production lines fully audit‑ready at all times.

​

My background spans internal auditing, GMP inspections, allergen management, CCP verification, pest‑control oversight, hygiene and environmental monitoring, allergen swabbing, water sampling, CAPA support, root‑cause analysis, gap analysis and customer‑specific compliance checks. I have supported major external audits including Tesco, KFC, BRCGS, HALAL and other retailer‑led assessments.

​

Before moving into auditing, I gained practical experience working in warehouse operations, dispatch, storage and stock control, industrial cleaning, COSHH chemical handling, sandwich production, and preparation kitchen environments. These early roles gave me a strong operational foundation and a practical understanding of hygiene, workflow, equipment safety and day‑to‑day compliance challenges.

​

I work closely with technical teams to resolve non‑conformances, improve documentation accuracy, and maintain strong traceability, allergen controls and CCP standards. I also deliver CCP training, competency assessments and practical operational support to ensure sites meet retailer and certification requirements.

​

I collaborate with specialist contractors and technical service providers, including ISS for metal detection and X‑ray support, Mettler Toledo / Safeline for CCP equipment and calibration, and industry‑standard vision‑inspection systems used across high‑volume production.

With strong expertise in auditing, operational standards, allergen control and certification readiness, I am committed to helping food operations remain compliant, legally robust and fully prepared to succeed.
