Central Foods has established a Primary Authority partnership with Northamptonshire County Council.

It means that Central Foods has been recognised for its robust compliance arrangements, amongst other things.

Central Foods managing director Gordon Lauder said: “We are very pleased to have formed a Primary Authority partnership with Northamptonshire County Council. This gives added reassurance to our customers and partners about our very stringent and professional procedures and processes.”

By becoming a Primary Authority partner, Central Foods will have access to relevant, authoritative tailored advice, can draw on an established and effective means of meeting business regulations, and can be more confident of protecting the business and its customers.

Primary Authority enables businesses to form a legal partnership with one local authority, which then provides assured and tailored advice on complying with regulations that other local regulators must respect.
