Here is a breakdown of our current accreditations, the services they allow us to provide, and how they impact our clients. 

Setting the standard

Upholding exemplary standards has been integral to our success. It is of paramount importance that our clients can trust that their products are being stored and transported safely, efficiently, and in line with local regulations. That’s why our facilities boast multiple accreditations that ensure compliance with stringent client and regulatory requirements.

The BRCGS Storage and Distribution and the IFS Logistics Certification guarantee the highest levels of safety, hygiene and quality across our network. These accreditations demonstrate our commitment to maintaining a high-quality storage and distribution environment through robust processes, comprehensive training, strict health and safety protocols and stringent hygiene and food safety standards. Our policies and procedures are meticulously designed and implemented to ensure compliance, and we undergo rigorous audits to maintain these certifications.

Certifications from respected bodies such as the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and Soil Association (Organic) underscore our commitment to sustainable practices in seafood storage and when handling organic products. These certifications enable our customers to store products with us that require special care. For example, if a customer has organic products, our Soil Association certification ensures that they can maintain their organic status within our facilities.

Our credentials as a Bonded Warehouse holding AEO Certification (Authorised Economic Operator) demonstrate our proficiency in managing secure international trade operations. This certification facilitates global trade for our customers and enhances the security and efficiency of our import and export processes.

Constellation is a Cyber Essentials certified entity, which demonstrates our proficiency in managing secure international trade operations.
