Double helping of success for Total Foodservice

Clitheroe-based catering wholesaler, Total Foodservice, has secured two internationally recognised health and safety accolades.

For the sixth year running, the firm joins 500 businesses across the globe in receiving an International Safety Award from the British Safety Council (BSC) for demonstrating commitment and determination to prevent workplace injuries and work-related ill health. Total Foodservice was awarded five stars in its Safety Council Audit.

Alex Botha, chief executive of the British Safety Council, commented: “The success criteria for our International Safety Awards is challenging and reflects the importance of ensuring risks of injury and ill health in the workplace are properly controlled. We are proud of our association with Total Foodservice and its commitment to keeping its employees and workplaces healthy and safe.”

The RoSPA award will be presented at a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole hotel, on July 13, 2016, as the event marks 60 years of presenting highly-regarded and sought after accolades to businesses and organisations which have shown commitment to accident and ill-health prevention.

Simon Howarth, managing director of Total Foodservice, said: “It’s a rather astonishing achievement for a small business to have this level of international recognition from bodies such as RoSPA and the BSC. The fact we are sustaining these high levels of achievement is a big point of pride for the business and all individuals involved.
