BFFF HEALTH & SAFETY GROUP MEET AT FARESHARE MERSEYSIDE

This week we met for our second British Frozen Food Federation Health & Safety Group meeting of 2025 at the FareShare UK Coronation Hub in Merseyside.
We all shared a humbling experience of how good food, which would ordinarily go to waste gets redistributed to those who really need it. The sites 90 volunteers and 13 vehicles work tirelessly to redistribute food but also provide innovative ways to prevent food waste such as turning potato fries into canned soups and providing nutritious food packs to those leaving hospital and going home to empty cupboards. These unsung heroes also upskill their volunteers providing opportunities for full time paid employment within the wider food industry. A massive thank you goes to our hosts Rachel McLean Colin Pryor Paul Karalius . We were also treated to a cooked lunch made from food which would have been wasted.

At this meeting we discussed the following topics:

Aggression & Violence in Retail,
Stress Management,
Primary Authority,
Occupational Health,
Materials Handling Equipment.

Our guest speakers from JTF Wireless Ltd Ashley Bannister Eve Coleman Morgan Lea Morris and provided an overview of the latest technology to reduce road risk and ensure food safety through temperature monitoring.

Thanks for those who attended today including Clare Flanagan Barry Robinson Paul Duncalf Michael Cox Millicent Holdsworth Hannah Russell Rachel McLean Paul Routledge Wendy Palmer Kathryn Tindall Rupert Ashby
