A NEW food hygiene consultancy company has launched to help drive 'excellence' in the north's hospitality industry.

Hospitality Excellence, headed up by Clogher business woman, Rhonda Montgomery, is a membership-based organisation for food service providers which offers a range of services that will help establishments to achieve and maintain a score of 5 in food hygiene ratings.

The company will assist food service providers with technical support, advice and guidance, that will help their business to achieve and maintain the top food hygiene ratings that reflect the standards of food hygiene in their premises. A £90,000 investment has been made in the new business which has also resulted in the creation of two new jobs.

Among the services that Hospitality Excellence provide is the conducting of quarterly unannounced hygiene visits to member premises, these visits aim to help maintain consistent levels of hygiene and help to prepare members for inspections. Hospitality Excellence will also work with member businesses to provide accurate nutritional and allergen information for menus.

Managing director and chief trainer, Rhonda Montgomery said:

"Hospitality Excellence will work with businesses on an ongoing basis to ensure they are sufficiently prepared and confident for inspections from the Food Standard Agency and Environmental Health Office, maintaining top food hygiene ratings. The affordable membership scheme and service options offered by Hospitality Excellence mean that we can cater to the requirements of food service providers of every size.”

Hospitality Excellence is the latest business venture for Rhonda Montgomery, who established her flagship business, Montgomery Food Consulting, in 2012. Since then she has established a successful sister business that represents the needs and requirements of butchers across Ireland – Butchery Excellence International, before going on to create Hospitality Excellence.
