- Bowker’s Selby Distribution Centre retains BRCGS AA Accreditation
Bowker are proud to announce that its Selby Distribution Centre retained the AA status in the BRCGS (Brand Reputation through Compliance Global Standards) Storage and Distribution audit — the highest possible rating under the globally recognised food safety standard.
This result reflects Bowker’s unwavering commitment to maintaining industry-leading standards in warehousing and distribution, with a continued focus on safety, compliance, and quality assurance.
The BRCGS audit rigorously assesses core operational areas including food safety and risk management, site and building standards, vehicle operations, and personnel practices. Achieving the AA grade confirms that Bowker’s Selby site not only meets but exceeds the stringent requirements set by BRCGS.
Liam McDonough, General Manager at Bowker Selby, commented:
“We’re incredibly proud to have retained our AA status. It’s a testament to the hard work, diligence, and dedication of the entire team here in Selby. Maintaining such a high standard is no easy task, and this result reinforces our ongoing commitment to excellence in every aspect of our operations.”
This achievement comes following Liam McDonough’s promotion to General Manager earlier this year. With over 11 years at Bowker and having progressed from Warehouse Operative to his current leadership role, Liam’s journey highlights both his capabilities and Bowker’s focus on nurturing talent within the business. Liam has recently been shortlisted for the UKWA’s (United Kingdom’s Warehousing Association’s) Warehouse Manager of the Year Award, the results of which will be revealed in London on 9th July. This recognition highlights the impact of his contributions, both within the Selby site and across the wider Bowker Group.
This latest announcement cements Bowker’s reputation as a trusted logistics partner in the food-grade supply chain, with all 5 food-grade sites performing at the highest possible standard. The Group continues to invest in its infrastructure and people to ensure its services consistently exceed the expectations of customers and industry regulators alike.
