	"We were fortunate to have Shane Hopgood of Assured Audits referred to us as providing a professional and friendly service when we were ready for our first audit in 2009. We found him very approachable and knowledgeable, guiding us through the first few years of implementing and fine-tuning our Food Safety Programme, to ensure our systems and documents were supporting our food manufacturing business to the highest standard. We are very appreciative of his continued attention, and the assurance that we can trust we are achieving the highest quality and safety of our products and operations".
