Organisational purpose: Everything we do, we do to give our customers the edge.
Strategic direction:
Business Strategy 2021 extract
Summary of Directors Strategic Vision for 2021, Executive summary
Business: The Cutting Edge Services (CES) business is the supply of equipment, parts, consumables, engineering
maintenance, PPE and sharp edges services to the meat, poultry, fish and food related industries in the UK and Eire.
The business is based in Chorley, Lancashire and employs over 80 colleagues.
Vision: Having traded through both Covid and the distraction of the changes at board level since 04 2019; the Board's
vision is use 2021 to consolidate out of hibernation. Key to this will be to reinstate the well proven systems,
procedures, structures and strategies employed pre-2017, whilst retaining the best learnings and practices
implemented during the H2020 period. Whilst we might achieve a modest growth in 2021, the primary focus will be to
create a platform to accommodate growth and development for 2022 and beyond. A secure and current operating
environment based on departmental procedures and a "whole business" CRM system will drive commercially viable
growth whilst addressing environmental, employee welfare and customer requirements. Fit for purpose processes will
reduce confusion, improve service levels and ultimately deliver better customer satisfaction in a cost-effective way.

Opportunity is two fold; development/introduction
of new products can grow our offer to existing
customers, open up new markets and drive business
growth. At the same time it gives us a level of
protection losing market share because the existing
portfolio has been made less attractive to customers
due to process change, technological advances or
new competitors entering the market.
The clearly defined NPD Process ensures that we focus investment in ideas
that have the greatest potential for success

employees to sign this document.
The Privacy Notice is a document issued by the company to employees

Review Nov 20
Lots of operator comments of knives only sharp for ½ hour to 1 hour however, no mass changes of knives on day 1 of use. Lots of changes very early on day 2 with some knives changed before
even being used. UPDATE: 28/29-10-2020. We witnessed lots of poor ed

Purposeful damage to gain extra knives.

Suggestion for issuing knives on a daily basis but this is not an option at the moment.
Knife operators helping themselves to additional or sharper
knives by taking from spare baskets.

Review Nov 20
Quite a few comments with concerns of not enough care being taken when knives are put into metal baskets particularly when the baskets have missing nylon protective inserts.
There is also potential for edge damage when washing the knives whilst still in the baskets by use of the power hose.
Hollow Ground knives feel better that non-HG.
Nov 2020
PS/GJ/CES
Quite a few comments suggesting operators prefer HG
knives.
Review Nov 20
Set up trial of HG v Non-HG. UPDATE: 28/29-10-2020. Agreed to conduct a trial of HG knives on one line, initially for two days (two knives, 1 x yellow 1 x black). Date to be agreed.

The objectives of the audit will be:
To confirm that the management system had been established implemented and maintained in accordance with the
requirements of the audit standard.
To evaluate the ability of the management system to ensure the client organisation meets applicable statutory, regulatory and
contractual requirements. Note: A management system certification audit is not a legal compliance audit.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the management system to ensure it is continually meeting its specified objectives
To identify as applicable, areas of the management system for potential improvement.
The audit scope describes the extent and boundaries of the audit, such as physical locations, organisational units, activities and processes to
be audited.
Where the initial or re-certification process consists of more than one audit (e.g. covering different locations), the scope of an individual
audit may not cover the full certification scope, but the totality of audits shall be consistent with the scope in the certification document.
