Ruth Shaw

Technical Consultant, Auditor & Interim Manager

ABOUT ME

I have recently been working on projects as Technical Consultant, Quality Manager or Interim Manager for a variety of clients and food categories. This has broadened my knowledge and experience in the food industry, also resulting in transferring best practice strategies from one site to another. One of my most recent achievements is the design of the Module 11 Meat Supply Chain Assurance documentation pack which has sold and been successfully implemented into many meat sites in the UK.

Experience

I have worked in many sites across the UK and Europe being an integral part of initial site set up projects on a small and large scale.

I'd say my greatest expertise is within bakery, raw and cooked meat and also ready to eat sandwiches and ready meals. Although when it comes to writing a HACCP study, I have probably written one for every food category there is!

I have worked with teams of different levels of food safety knowledge and can adapt my working style to suit. I enjoy working with small artisan producers setting out on their journey wanting to get things right from the outset.

I also thrive working on projects in large companies, technically advising and guiding through audits, training management and teams of operatives, auditing and implementing new efficient ways of working.

I have a flexible approach to my consultancy services, ensuring I am able to help smaller businesses.
