Ben Marchant appears on the ApRecs Podcast to discuss Auditing in Food Safety

WENATCHEE, Wash. - Dec. 23, 2013 - PRLog -- Ben Marchant is VP of Marketing with NCSI (now BSI) assisting, developing and promoting 3rd party standards. 4 years ago, Ben moved to Seattle, WA, to help start the satellite business in the US, with a special focus on food safety. In this time, the market had grown strongly, seeing almost exponential growth as organizations seek to comply with standards being pushed down by major retailers and buyers. His degree is a Bachelor of Economics from the University of Newcastle in Australia, and he’s currently studying for his MBA.

Joe Dager of ApRecs and host of the Podcast said, “Ben discusses more than just food safety audits. We dive into what makes a good auditor and what is changing in the auditing field. Ben also provided a few of the lessons learned in the Jensen Farms Cantaloupe Case.”
