Three Facilities SQF Certified in Three States on the First Try

We used Kellerman Consulting to assist with the creation, documentation and implementation of our food safety plan on the path to SQF certification in three busy warehouses simultaneously in three different states. Because of the incredible level of detail and individualized support provided by the Kellerman Consulting team, we were able to achieve certification in all three on the first audit with only a handful of minor non-conformances noted. The team also provides excellent guidance and advice on all follow-up actions needed. I highly recommend this team to anyone that is looking for help navigating all the complexities around SQF certification, they played a substantial role in our success in this process.

FSQA Manager is Trained in Four Months to Pass Their First BRCGS Audit

Kellerman Consulting does an amazing job of consistently meeting customers’ expectations and taking time to understand the needs of their unique customer. Their service goes above and beyond expectations. I had come to Shelby Foods just 4 months before the initial BRCGS audit and had very little idea what was required for BRCGS. Brian worked with me and patiently answered all my questions until I understood everything.

We have an A rating with BRCGS and I attribute that to Brian Kellerman and Kellerman Consulting for everything they have done to help our business to get the certification. Their initial assessment of our company, the documents, and information provided to make our
plan were great. During the audit it gave me confidence knowing we had everything in line with BRCGS requirements.

Clarendon Flavors’ New SQF Practitioner is Trained in Three Months for SQF Success

“Kellerman Consulting made a world of difference in both the time and quality of implementation of our SQF program at Clarendon Flavors. Honestly, we would have had a very tough time doing it without their expertise. When I took over the position of SQF Practitioner at our company with no prior experience, I had only 3 months to prepare for our first SQF Audit. Tim and Brian rallied around me and made sure I was ready to meet the challenge head on. From writing and reviewing documents, to educating a complete novice, to performing a mock audit in advance, the Kellerman team made sure we were ready not only to pass, but to score a 91 on our first audit. I could not recommend them more highly”!
