We remain open for business during these challenging times

Please view our Secure workplace guidance and information videos (for our Chipping Campden site) for:

During these challenging times, we would like to reassure our members and clients that we remain open for business and that our consultancy services, laboratories, pilot plant and other facilities are all operational – so that we can continue to support you. We will continue to follow all relevant official guidance and have put in place measures to protect our staff and deliver the services you need, and will explain clearly where any future guidance impacts on the services we provide. Specifically:

• Our laboratories operate at two different UK sites and, within those sites, have discrete and duplicated operational areas to provide resilience – with flexible working practices to maintain services
• We are avoiding non-essential meetings and travel, and use remote meetings where possible; the only visitors allowed on our sites are those that are business critical (including deliveries and collections)
• We now provide online training courses to complement our face-to-face training courses, which resume in August (for one- and two-day courses). From October we expect to be able to deliver our full range of courses. We can also provide company specific training at Campden BRI, your site and online. For all face-to-face training, social distancing and other safety measures will be observed.
• Consumer and sensory testing – our consumer testing centre in Leamington Spa is now open, while observing social distancing and other safety measures. Our consumer panels can also take products home to test and provide feedback online. Our sensory panels are also fully operational.
• Conferences and seminars – we will not be running seminars and conferences until the end of the year although we are planning to run some virtual events later in autumn
• Many staff can work remotely with relevant connectivity to our systems and processes
• We update staff regularly on the precautions and measures they should take to protect themselves and reduce the transmission to others – including self-isolation and remote working
• Some staff could still visit customers with business-critical needs, subject to all the necessary precautions, restrictions and risk assessments
