Client Comments
“I would just like to bring to your attention the great performance work that is being done for Foodstuffs by Julia Egan of BC Group in the field of compliance. The requirements can be very frustrating, demanding and thankless. Julia has always delivered a great support to myself and Foodstuffs in the area of compliance and is to be commended for the extra mile and tireless efforts that are being performed on the management of our account on a daily basis.”
“Now that I’ve come to grips with it (old dog new tricks), I really like the new system. It has a nice clean layout and being able to attach photos makes our operation a very professional service to our clients. So well done to all involved in the new design.”
“Again I wish to mention how impressed I am with BC Group, their cooperation and assistance, their knowledge and experience and also the great website BC Group has, which is always up to date. You have no idea how that website helps us BMC’s with information, contacts and addresses. Great work guys. Very impressive.”
“TPF Restaurants have used the services of BC Group since 1996. They carry out all of our IQP work on the 70 restaurants operated by Burger King nationwide. During that time we have found them to provide an excellent service, it is refreshing to deal with a company that treats its customers with respect and that goes that extra mile to ensure that the customer receives a service level that is expected.”
“The online system is fantastic that simplifies the management of the BWOF process whilst holding a full audit trail of events and documentation on line – viewable to the client and ourselves. I thoroughly recommend you taking the time to look at the system and its benefits.”
