Raising The Bar For Chocolate Excellence: Our BRCGS AA+ Certification
At Hames, quality is more than just a buzz word, it’s the heartbeat of everything we do. From sourcing ethically grown cocoa beans to fine-tuning recipes that delight every palate, our goal is to craft private label chocolate that represents the pinnacle of taste, consistency, and reliability.
Why Quality Matters In Private Label Chocolate
When it comes to private label products, customers put their trust not only in the brand on the wrapper but also in the manufacturer’s ability to uphold stringent standards. Chocolate is no exception. For us, excellence means ensuring every bite meets both your brand’s promise and the expectations of consumers who savour our creations.
1. Brand Reputation
As the manufacturer behind your private label, we’re responsible for protecting and enhancing your reputation by delivering products that consistently impress.
2. Consumer Trust
Customers need to feel confident about the safety, quality, and ethics behind their sweet treat. By maintaining high standards, we help foster that trust.
3. Competitive Edge
In a crowded marketplace, superior quality sets your brand apart leading to repeat purchases, positive reviews, and long-term loyalty.
Our Achievement: BRCGS AA+
We’re thrilled to announce that we have achieved the coveted BRCGS AA+ certification. BRCGS is an internationally recognised food safety standard that holds manufacturers to rigorous requirements, covering everything from production and packaging to employee training and food safety management.
• The AA Rating
The ‘AA’ score is the highest rating possible under the BRCGS framework. Achieving this confirms that our operations meet the strictest international standards of safety and quality.
• The Plus Matters
The plus sign (+) next to our rating signifies an unannounced audit. This time around, we voluntarily opted for an unannounced audit rather than waiting for the mandatory unannounced audit that BRCGS requires every three years. This choice reflects the confidence we’ve built in our high standards over the years. It also means the inspector arrived without advance notice.. Our readiness under these surprise circumstances showcases the consistent, day to day reliability of our processes.
What This Means for You
1. Confidence In Your Supply Chain
Our BRCGS AA+ rating guarantees that your private label chocolate is produced in a facility designed to meet and exceed top industry standards every single day.
2. Consistent Quality
You can rest assured that the flavours, textures, and safety of each chocolate batch meet the same high level of excellence.
3. Value For Your Brand
With a dedicated partner delivering world-class products, you position your brand for growth, trust, and positive recognition.
Looking Ahead
While this achievement certainly calls for celebration, we view it as another milestone on our ongoing journey of continous improvement and growth. We’ll continue refining our processes, investing in new technologies, and pushing the boundaries of flavour and chocolate innovation, all to ensure that your private label chocolates remain unforgettable and unmatched in quality.
Thank you for joining us in celebrating this exciting news! We’re proud to stand behind your private label success and can’t wait to share future achievements with you.
