Technical Manager of a Manufacturing company:
Thanks to Bob Hutson's expert tutoring I now know how to write a proper HACCP plan and put it into action. The tutoring has enabled me to write plans for our new products. I can now fight my corner on a more equal footing with inspectors. Proof of HACCP train was a non-compliance raised during our last BRC audit.
Bob gave me two full days' one-to-one tuition at my company. Although I have attended very good technical workshops, I generally find group a bit of an ordeal, especially when I don't understand something and feel afraid to ask. The need for explanation is so important because I found it difficult to learn HACCP.
Bob dealt efficiently with every query, and gave all the on-line and telephone support that I needed to complete my HACCP assignment. All queries during the assignment period were answered promptly and Bob gave constructive feedback.
Our company really does need to have BRC accreditation. Hopefully this good training and my credit pass will satisfy the auditor this coming year (2008).
