Signing up to Yorkshire & Humber Climate Action Pledge

Garry has been a key part of our journey from the very early days of The Canine Menu. He helped us build our food safety system from the ground up and has continued to support and adapt it as we’ve scaled. His approach is both detailed and pragmatic — always balancing the gold standard of food safety with what’s achievable for a fast-growing business.

What sets Garry apart is his responsiveness and genuine care. Whether it’s a last-minute audit question or an urgent compliance query, he’s always just a phone call or email away. His deep experience in managing large, complex food safety programmes gives him invaluable perspective — he sees the big picture and helps steer us towards it.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Garry to any food business looking for expert support from someone who truly understands the realities of growth.

Jessica Morris - Co-Founder of The Caine Menu

 During the development of BRCGS’s Ethical Trade & Responsible Sourcing standard, Garry sat on the Working Group as a subject matter expert. He brought a wealth of valuable knowledge and experience that helped shape the standard and later, the development of the certification programme. I have no hesitation in recommending Garry because his knowledge of ethical trade issues and how they should be managed is second to none.

  I can highly recommend Garry. The dedication, commitment and control he had over the Compliance function at Cranswick Foods Plc was exceptional. Garry worked well across all factories, farms and functions; geographically spread across England, Wales and Ireland.
Garry was key to keeping Cranswick Foods Plc as compliant and progressive as it was. His attention to detail was excellent and he always did it constructively, ensuring continuous improvement and commitment from the senior leadership team.

His organisational ability, and analytical skills were second to none. Through Garry's commitment to a robust and resilient internal audit process, across all functions; Cranswick Foods Plc was always assured that it was operating effectively and ethically.

Garry will be an asset to any employer or company seeking a thorough consultant.
