Expanding Our Dairy and Apiculture Services Through FSQSNZ Acquisition

Strengthening Our Commitment to New Zealand’s Dairy and Apiculture Industries

Following our recent acquisitions of Food and Health Standards (FHS) and Auditing Solutions (AS), we’re excited to announce the next step in our growth journey: the acquisition of Food Safety Quality Solutions NZ (FSQSNZ Limited). This move, part of our joint venture with Sam Brooks, brings a trusted MPI-recognised agency into our fold, with over five years of combined experience in food safety and compliance. 

Led by Rebecca Doidge, FSQSNZ has built a strong reputation for delivering evaluation and verification services into a range of sectors, including honey production, and with a recent entry into New Zealand’s dairy sector. This acquisition significantly enhances our ability to offer a broader, more integrated service package to our honey and dairy clients, streamlining access to essential testing and auditing services. Our expanded capabilities now include Risk Management Programme (RMP) evaluation and verification, dairy heat treatment, and premises and equipment evaluations. 

With nationwide coverage and a proven track record of regulatory clarity and reliability, FSQSNZ strengthens our position as a comprehensive service provider across both the food and dairy industries. We’re excited to extend our support to the apiculture sector, providing the regulatory services they require to be able to operate in this sector. 

Rebecca Doidge will continue in her role as Technical Manager, ensuring continuity and excellence in service delivery. She will also oversee the consultancy services provided through her new entity, Food and Risk Management Consulting Ltd. The official transition date is set for 1 July 2025, and we anticipate a smooth integration with no disruption to current services. 

For more information, please contact Sam Brooks or Rebecca Doidge (pictured below). We look forward to this exciting new chapter and to continuing to support the success of New Zealand’s dairy and food industries.
