Case Study: Fosters Bakery

Sector: Food
Who: Csaba Szedlak

Fosters Bakery is based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, from where they bake and supply a number of baked products to supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, catering establishments, food manufacturers and other outlets across the UK and abroad.  Fosters employ over 230 people and have worldwide sales of over £10m per annum.

AG Pest Management have been working with Fosters for many years and service both the bakeries and their three Barnsley based shops.

Fosters Quality Assurance Manager, Csaba Szedlak explains “AG Pest provide us with a full suite of pest management services across our sites. We really value their flexibility and responsiveness”.

In one particular incidence Fosters had found an insect and obviously needed to identify and eradicate as soon as possible.  AG Pest Management were able to attend the same day, identify the insect and therefore remove and prevent infestation.

The paperwork is also something that Csaba values; “I have often had auditors and other third parties asking who does our pest management because they say the paperwork is clear and easy to understand.  I don’t have to do anything with it as it all laid out professionally and appropriately ready for any applicable bodies to inspect” says Csaba.

The food industry standards are always something that Fosters need to be on top of to ensure they comply with all new legislations. Csaba explains; “AG Pest are good at providing their services quickly and in a way that ensures we can more than keep up with the food industry standards and the paperwork”.
