THE Eblex Quality Standard Mark (QSM) scheme has boosted its team with the appointment of Deanna Girgan.
Deanna, who has 20 years of experience in the food industry, has joined the QSM team as Quality Schemes executive and will work with members to ensure they are fully benefitting from the programme.
The QSM scheme for beef and lamb provides one of the highest levels of independently-inspected quality assurance for meat in the UK. It celebrated its tenth anniversary last year and has more than 2,600 members.
QSM’s standards contain combined guarantees of food safety, animal welfare, care for the environment and eating quality.
Laura Ryan, Eblex's marketing manager quality schemes, said: “The QSM scheme continues to go from strength to strength. The entire supply chain benefits, from the farmer through to the consumer and I’m delighted to welcome Deanna to the team to help develop that further.”
