Beacon Compliance

Katie is Managing and Business Development Director at Beacon Compliance.  She started Beacon Compliance in 2018 as she spotted a significant Gap in the market. Smaller food businesses lacked the Technical knowledge and expertise to push their businesses forward to the next level, that’s where she felt her 24 years of broad experience across the food industry could support them to navigate the complex framework of legislation and regulations.

Throughout Katie’s, more than 2 decades of experience in the food sector, she has worked as an Environmental Health Officer for numerous local authorities, Technical Manager for companies such as Ginsters and as a 3rd party auditor on behalf of major companies such as Tesco, M&S, Asda and Subway.  She has vast experience of SALSA, BRCGS and many other regulatory standards across the food sector and now supports businesses to ‘Bridge the Gap’ between their Business and the Regulatory Bodies that govern them.
